Missing JFK Assassination Film, The MP3 CD – Unabridged, October 18, 2016

It must've been the direction of the filming that made the difference. Abraham Zapruder filmed JFK's assassination from one side of the street, while Orville Nix filmed across the street from him... & caught something suspicious on film in the area of the Grassy Knoll.In "26 Seconds," Alexandra Zapruder complains her family had to put up with a lot due to her Grandfather's assassination film. She should be so lucky that her last name wasn't Nix! After all, the Zapruder family received millions for their film, while the Nix family received nothing but misery & mistreatment by both the gov't & the media. Abraham Zapruder was a successful businessman who was treated courteously concerning his film; Orville Nix was a poor, uneducated laborer who believed in - & was taken advantage of - by the US gov't.Reading about how Mr Nix was used, abused, lied to, etc, by those he trusted really made me angry. I could feel his granddaughter's anguish throughout the pages of this book. Ms Nix-Jackson was similarly mistreated & lied to when she embarked on her search for the original film from her grandfather's camera. I'm certain this is due to the fact that the "something" on the Grassy Knoll that showed up in Mr Nix's film really is something important - something the gov't wants to continue covering up through lies & intimidation.

Enjoyable read, with a mystery flavor at times. The details of Nix and his interactions with the Eastern elite and the early days of the Swamp help the narrative being both believable and relevant to today's behavior of those holding power and influence.

Enjoyed the book immensely. We hear so much about the main players of that day and the side stories helps put the puzzle together. Reading this book while flying to Dallas to get my first tour of the sixth floor museum made it even more special. Mr. Nix was a simple, decent honest man, but very naive. After watching the Deep State in action over the course of the last six years it is not hard to understand how coordinated the assassination and cover up of JFK was.

The private, the public, and the political-- in no other case do these things become blurred as much as in any analysis of the death of John F. Kennedy. Gayle Nix Jackson tells the story of Orville Nix, a man with a camera who happened to be on the ground for a life-changing (world-changing, and in some ways world-ending) event, the murder of President Kennedy in Dallas in 1963. But this isn't merely Grassy Knoll Clue, as so many books on the topic end up; this is a personal and thoughtful meditation on how a larger moment can eclipse the experience of an individual, and what it is to stand up to The Status Quo (government and media versions of both). This book is easily one of the most important JFK books to appear in the last twenty years.

A very good, informational book in regards to her Dad and the movie he took. I took it out of the Amazon shipping box, sat down, and read it in one sitting. For all the talk about the alleged shooter being the guilty man, the government has always hidden and lied about the files and the movies. If it was a slam dunk of an outcome, why all the cloak and dagger? There are a lot of skeletons in the closet and some of the people involved are still alive. Occam's Razor be damned lol

I just finished reading Orville Nix : " The Missing JFK Assassination Film " and it became harder and harder to put down . Gayle Nix Jackson takes you down that road that you don't want to get off . The book is very emotional and it seems to pull you into what Orville Nix is going through as he tries to be that American Patriot and do what's right and instead Orville gets the run-a-round and is told to say something that he knows is not right . You want to join in his fight for the truth and it makes you mad to see Orville go through these trials and tribulations . Gayle Nix Jackson goes into some areas about the treatment that Orville had to endure and it makes you want to join the fight. The book is a very good read and Gayle puts her heart and soul into this book . I highly recommend the reading about Orville Nix : " The Missing JFK Assassination Film " .

This book poses many questions regarding the handling of physical evidence and the inclusion or lack thereof, of verbal testimony in the "official" version of events. The reader is inclined to share the indignation of the author. As time passes and many seek to make sensational dollars from that day in Dallas real stories are often lost. Too many are now dead and any future formally revised version of the truth will for sure not include confirmation of corruption at the highest levels ofgovernment. It has never been important to know the names of the men who pulled the triggers as much as those whose were complicit in covering up them doing so.

Over the past few years there have been books written or ghost written by the self-professed girl friend of Lee Harvey Oswald and the alleged mistress of Lyndon Johnson. Then there is the video confession of the real Grassy Knoll assassin currently residing in an Illinois prison.At last we have a Kennedy assassination book written by a relative of a first person witness that is well written, thought-provoking, and intelligent.Gayle Nix Jackson, the granddaughter of Orville Nix, weaves a compelling tale of what happened to her grandfather before, during and after he photographed the assassination from the opposite side of Abraham Zapruder’s position. Additionally we have the extraordinary mystery of what happened to this now missing film as it wound its way through time?With the advent of better technology one can only wonder what the original film contains in the shadows. Copies show it reveals the area of the purported position of several shooter locations behind the picket fence. Since the original images could resolve issues related to conspiracy it remains a crucial piece of lost history. And this story of the man and his vanished film is well worth reading.Dave Perry

Not a bad book by any means the reason I gave it only 3 stars was because it took a long time to get to the main part which was of course the assassination analysis. still it was a fairly good read.

An interesting account but not too much that was vital except the fact that the original "disappeared."
