Writer-director Peter Landesman knew he would have to go beyond published accounts and conduct his own interviews with those touched by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said: "We began developing the script from Vince Bugliosi [Vincent Bugliosi]'s majestic book. But I also went looking for people who had never spoken before. When I was a journalist, I learned that the only people I really wanted to speak with were those who didn't want to speak to me. They are the ones who have the untouched truth. People who are eager to talk usually have an agenda. Landesman continued: "I found the ground-zero stories of the non-celebrities. These are the people whose names you don't know, the people who have withdrawn into the shadows of history. When the crisis was over, these people didn't capitalize on the publicity or gain attention from their front-row seat to history. They went back to work."
