The Killing Of America

The Killing Of America is een zeer indrukwekkende en onthutsende documentaire uit 1982 waarin de opkomst van (extreem) geweld in de Verenigde Staten wordt geportretteerd.
De docu toont ons de aanslagen op J.F.K., Martin Luther King en Robert Kennedy tot de gewelddadige betogen tegen de Vietnam-oorlog. Van de rituele moorden door de volgelingen van Charles Manson tot de seriemoordenaars Ted Bundy, Son of Sam en John Wayne Gacy. En van sluipschuttermoorden op onschuldige burgers tot de collectieve zelfmoord van de sekte van Jim Jones.

A documentary of the decline of America. It features a lot a footage (most exclusive to this film) from race riots to serial killers and much-much more. While this documentary is easily available everywhere else, it has never been released, distributed, televised nor made available for sale in the USA. This documentary argues that the turning point was when John Kennedy was assassinated in Texas 1963 combined with poverty, racism, the Vietnam war, and gun violence but unlike Michael Moores heavy handed 2002 documentary “Bowling for Columbine” (Which is often compared to this documentary) this film never becomes preachy nor does it blame guns in the same way.
