The Second Gun

The Second Gun presents a critical investigation into the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, challenging the official narrative that Sirhan Sirhan acted alone. It showcases rare footage and firsthand accounts that raise questions about the possibility of a second gunman at the scene.

The film scrutinizes various inconsistencies in the case, focusing on eyewitness testimonies and ballistic evidence. It highlights discrepancies between the reported position of Sirhan during the shooting and the trajectory of the bullets that struck Kennedy. For instance, while witnesses claimed Sirhan was in front of Kennedy, the angles of the bullet wounds suggest otherwise.

Expert testimony from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner is featured, which complicates the assertion that Sirhan was the sole shooter. The documentary points out that the fatal slug’s distance from Kennedy contradicts witness accounts of Sirhan’s proximity to the senator.

Through interviews with key figures and an analysis of the investigation’s handling, the film argues that the official account of the assassination leaves many questions unanswered. It presents emerging theories and forensic evidence that contribute to ongoing debates about the true circumstances of Kennedy’s death.
