Ok. they did get 2 things correct.
Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas.
Garrison did put Clay Shaw on trial.

The rest of that movie is absolute bullshit.

Even that wonderful speech Garrison gave on the final day of the trial, as being played by Costner, was not given.
Garrison wasn't even there at the trial the last day.

Garrison was a grandstander who let organized crime figures off the hook.
He also tried to paint Clay Shaw as part of a "homosexual thrill killer group."

Yes. Even really well-made movies can be absolute horseshit.
Going back to "Birth Of A Nation."
