Because Zapruder is so simple it's hard for me to even call it a documentary. For those of you who don't know what Zapruder is, its the film that captured the assasination of former president John F. Kennedy. It was filmed on 8mm and it's probably the most important moment in U.S. history that we have captured on film.
Zapruder is a very interesting piece of film. It has raised all kinds of questions about the assassination of JFK. It's considered found footage, because it was accidentally caught on film. Zapruder didn't intend to film the shooting of JFK.
I found the Zapruder film to be very disturbing. It's creepy. We see JFK with some other people including his wife as he turns the corner in a convertible. As they pass by the camera we see JFK get shot in the head. What makes it creepy is that none of this was planned. It was all shot by a spectator. It just makes it all that much more real in my mind. I have posted the video below. It is graphic, for those of you who don't want to see that stuff.
