Paramount Plus is the latest distributor to announce a November special related to the 60th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s 1963 assassination with  JFK: What The Doctors Saw.

The documentary special, debuting November 14, will look at the medical observations surrounding JFK’s wounds from the perspective of the doctors in the Parkland Hospital emergency room, Paramount Plus said. In never-before-seen footage from their reunion, the doctors share in vivid detail what they did and saw.

Paramount Plus’s description of the documentary says: “Several of those doctors there that day remain certain that what they saw looked like an entry wound — a bullet hole in JFK’s throat — an observation that contradicts what Americans have been told by numerous official investigations. This revelation would indicate that someone shot the president from the front, challenging the decades-old government narrative that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.”

JFK: What The Doctors Saw is executive produced by Jacque Lueth, Bill Garnet, Barbara Shearer Guy Davies, Adam Somer, Cheryl Leib, Joseph Leib and Joseph Marvel.

The documentary joins National Geographic's JFK: One Day In America and History's Kennedy projects surrounding the 60th anniversary of JFK’s assassination.
