It is the first documentary ever to follow Oswald'ss bizarre trail after he defected from the U.S. Marine Corps at age 19 and was settled in Cold-War Minsk by the KGB. For the first time
we see this man'ss life behind the Iron Curtain - his character, how he made decisions, and what it was like to be the first and only American in communist Minsk.
Through previously unseen Soviet Belarusian archive footage, reenactments of scenes taken from Oswald'ss own diary, exclusive interviews with Russians who knew Oswald and recently
declassified KGB documents, we can see what kind of man Oswald really was. Who was this young man that disappeared behind the Iron Curtain and then went on to kill Kennedy Oswald'ss
movements in Dallas during the last 24 hours of Kennedy'ss life are covered in detail.
American Assassin is a meticulously resarched true story with all of the elements of a thriller; intrigue, heartbreak, bitterness, and finally, a terrible murder. It is a collectors item
for your library.
Robert Bayne, the producer/director, was one of the first Americans in Belarus after the breakup of the Soviet Union. He assembled a well connected team to complete this film despite
pressure from the Belarusian KGB to drop the project. Part of the film'ss proceeds will go to the Chernobyl children in Belarus.
