Abraham Zapruder and His Famous Film

Friday, 22 November 2013 | by Pat's Picks

The Washington Post has a fascinating feature on Abraham Zapruder - who famously shot the only footage of President Kennedy’s assassination. Zapruder said he knew instantly the President had been killed. Zapruder actually left his fancy movie camera at home that day. When he got to work, his secretary told him to run home and get it.

A new view of the Zapruder film was posted online this year. It’s a computer-stabilized version that widens the perspective of the scene.
