Edward Norton is the right match as Oswald, and it’s a task he might have simply performed in a film when he was youthful, however the alternative by no means got here alongside.
The Oswald Challenge tells the “surprising story of the alleged murderer of President John F. Kennedy and Oswald’s relationship with the CIA. It is going to probe generations-long questions together with whether or not Oswald was being educated by the CIA to develop into a KGB double-agent, or so he might take the autumn for JFK’s homicide, and whether or not he, as he claimed simply earlier than his personal assassination, was ‘a patsy.’”
