The Assassination and Mrs. Paine

Join director Max Good and journalist Max Blumenthal for a special screening of this timely new documentary. Just as President Biden and the National Archives are being sued over the remaining classified JFK files, we present a film featuring one of the key players in the JFK assassination saga: Ruth Paine.

90-year-old Ruth Paine lives quietly in a Quaker retirement home in northern California. But she will always be haunted by her connection to the JFK assassination. As a key witness and friend of Marina and Lee Harvey Oswald, Mrs. Paine has been a suspect of conspiracy researchers for nearly six decades. The Oswald's stayed in Ruth Paine's house in the months leading up to the assassination, the alleged murder rifle was stored in her garage, and she was instrumental in finding Oswald employment at the Texas School Book Depository. These are just a few of the intriguing details about Ruth Paine. She was also asked more questions--over 5000--by the Warren Commission, than any other witness.

Classified documents from the Warren Commission and House Select Committee on Assassinations having been dribbling out since the passage of the JFK Records Act in 1992. Among those files, we discovered that Ruth Paine's sister was an employee of the Central Intelligence Agency and other members of the family had connections to the intelligence community. What remains in the last documents that have been held-back from release past two mandated deadlines, we can only guess.

This award-winning new film has been playing at film festivals across the world and will make its premiere in Washington DC on the 59th anniversary of the JFK assassination.
