Oliver Stone‘s JFK w/Zach Sklar & Jim DiEugenio

This first episode of the CovertAction Bulletin podcast is also the first part of our Destiny Betrayed series on the JFK assassination. In this episode, Aaron talks with Zachary Sklar, the co-screenwriter of Oliver Stone's JFK. They are joined by series producer, Jim DiEugenio, the writer and  co-creator of Oliver Stone's JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass, now streaming on Showtime.  Released in 1991, JFK was based upon Jim Garrison's memoir, 'On the Trail of the Assassins.'  The book was published by CovertAction Magazine's old publishing arm, Sheridan Square Press. Zachary Sklar edited Garrison's memoir before taking on screenwriting duties after Stone purchased the book's film rights.  In this episode, we cover the origin story of the memoir and the film, the unprecedented controversy sparked by the movie, and the singular historical impact of the film. This episode also features the multitalented Abby Martin of The Empire Files.For full episodes go to https://www.patreon.com/CovertActionBulletin.
