City of Hate: Dallas and the Assassination

About This Movie

So, 'City of Hate: Dallas and the Assassination' dives deep into the uneasy atmosphere of Dallas in the lead-up to Kennedy's visit. It's not just a documentary; it's a window into the pride and tension that filled the streets. The pacing can feel a bit wobbly, but it reflects the chaotic energy of the time—people gearing up for what they thought was a celebratory moment, only to have it spiral into national tragedy. The film's strength lies in its raw interviews and archival footage that stitch together the city’s conflicted feelings about its own identity. By addressing themes of pride and shame, it stands out in the crowded field of historical documentaries. I think it’s worth a watch for anyone digging into the complexities of that era.
