The 8mm film was stored in a milk crate and ignored for decades.
Rarely seen footage captured in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is going up for auction in Boston later this month. And while the 8mm film lasts just 10 seconds, it’s a fascinating peek into history that’s been hiding away in private hands for decades.
“Secret Service Agent Clint Hill dominates the scene, spreadeagled precariously above the back seat, having leapt onto the back of the vehicle to shield the first lady and wounded president,” the auction house explained. “Jacqueline Kennedy, slumping over her stricken husband, is easily identified in the rear seat by the bright hue of her iconic pink suit.”
