November 22, 1963 chronicles the day of John F. Kennedy’s assassination and explores the intersection of stories and memories and how they represent and mythologize that defining moment in history. Jackie’s story is interwoven with the stories of real people intimately connected with that day: a man who shares cigarettes with Jackie outside the trauma room; a motorcycle policeman flanking the motorcade; Abe Zapruder, who caught the assassination on film; the White House servants waiting for Jackie to return; and the morticians overseeing President Kennedy’s autopsy.
