ABC News Studios will air a comprehensive two-hour documentary examining the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, incorporating newly declassified government documents released in March 2025 that could shed fresh light on one of America’s most enduring mysteries.

New Evidence Comes to Light

The special titled “Truth and Lies: Who Killed JFK?” revisits the events of November 22, 1963, when President Kennedy was fatally shot while traveling through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. The program distinguishes itself by analyzing previously classified materials from the most recent government document release, offering viewers access to information that remained hidden from the public for over six decades. The documentary combines archival footage with expert interviews and eyewitness testimony to reconstruct the chaotic day that changed American history.

The broadcast features an interview with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone, whose controversial work has challenged official narratives surrounding the assassination. The program examines key evidence and explores inconsistencies in the widely accepted account of how Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, killed the 35th president. By tracing the backgrounds and beliefs of both Kennedy and Oswald, the documentary shows how their paths converged on that fateful day in Dallas.

Constitutional Questions Persist

The assassination has fueled conspiracy theories for decades, raising fundamental questions about government transparency and the American people’s right to know the full truth about their elected leaders. The special examines why certain documents remained classified for so long and what these newly released files reveal about the investigation. Executive producer Muriel Pearson and ABC News Studios senior executive producer David Sloan helm the production, which airs Monday, November 24 from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. Eastern time.

What This Means

The program arrives as Americans continue demanding accountability and transparency from their government institutions. The Kennedy assassination remains a defining moment in the nation’s history, representing both the fragility of democracy and the enduring questions about who holds power in America. The documentary will stream on Disney+ and Hulu the day after broadcast, ensuring widespread access to this examination of historical events that continue shaping public trust in government.
