Have you seen the *full* Zapruder film of the JFK assassination?  Very few people have.

A quick history of this film:  Abraham Zapruder was witness to the 1963 assassination and recorded it with his camera.  The film was confiscated by the government.  Years later a copy was made available to Jim Garrison, D.A. of New Orleans, who brought forth the only lawsuit concerning the assassination.  In the mid 1970s, this footage was finally shown to the public, causing an outcry that lead to the Church committee hearings in which Congress investigated the assassination, concluding that a conspiracy was probable.  Oliver Stone paid the Zapruder family for the right to use this footage in his well-known 1993 film, JFK.

What most people don't realize is that this film was edited.  According to a post I saw on the Web, the CIA admits that it edited the film, claiming that it had damaged the film.

A Japanese TV show (TV-Asahi) investigated the JFK assassination and uncovered an unedited version of the famous Zapruder film, a copy made by a government employee (in the 1970s) from a copy in the government's possession.  That version of the film has six frames that do not exist in the well-known version of the film.  They discovered this while trying to match an accidental audio recording of the event to the Zapruder film.  Incidentally, while doing digital forensics analysis of the audio recording evidence was found that (at least) five shots were fired from three different guns.

Unfortunately, the TV-Asahi video is currently not easy to find online.  You might be able to use the phone number of Marie Ueda (below) to get a copy.

OTHER SUPPRESSED INFORMATION:  Look on YouTube for these two solid films:  JFKII and "The Men Who Killed Kennedy:  The Guilty Men".  (The second of these is also not so well known, thanks in part to Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and the LBJ family threatening to sue The History Channel if it continued to air and sell this production.)
