A recently discovered home movie showing former US President John F Kennedy's motorcade shortly before his assassination was unveiled today on the website of a Dallas museum.
The silent, 8 mm colour film is "the clearest, best film of Jackie in the motorcade," said Gary Mack, curator of the Sixth Floor Museum, which focuses on Kennedy's life and assassination.
The film shows a brief but clear glimpse of President Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline, a few blocks from Dealey Plaza and roughly 90 seconds before the killing.
Also visible is Secret Service agent Clint Hill riding on the back of the car. After the shots were fired, Hill jumped onto the car as it drove to the hospital.
The film, posted on www.jfk.org, ends with some footage the next day outside the Texas School Book Depository, the building from which assassin Lee Harvey Oswald fired the fatal shots.
Amateur photographer George Jefferies took the footage and held onto it for more than 40 years, Mr Mack said. Mr Jefferies mentioned it in a casual conversation with his son-in-law, Wayne Graham, and the two agreed to donate it to the museum.
