Bonus: Four Died Trying Director John Kirby and Producer Libby Handros
About this episode
Matt Crumpton interviews John Kirby and Libby Handros about their documentary series exploring the assassinations of key figures in the 1960s.
In this bonus episode of Solving JFK , Matt Crumpton speaks with John Kirby , director, and Libby Handros , producer, of the ongoing documentary film franchise Four Died Trying . The project explores the lives—and assassinations—of President John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, asking what connects these four pivotal murders of the 1960s and how they reshaped American political history. Through more than 130 interviews with family members, colleagues, eyewitnesses, and others connected to these events, the series revisits these tragedies with fresh research and a wide range of perspectives. John and Libby discuss the origins of the project, the decision to structure the films as a series of stand-alone chapters, and the themes introduced in the newly released Prologue. We also talk about the challenges of researching and presenting such historically complex and debated events, and what they hope audiences take away from revisiting this turbulent era of American history.
