The Second Gun

The Second Gun explores an alternative theory as to how US Senator Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated, specifically the possibility that another gunman was involved in the killing.

The 42-year-old junior senator was murdered at the Ambassador Hotel shortly after midnight on 6 June 1968 in Los Angeles, and Sirhan Sirhan was identified as the assassin. Although he was widely regarded as a lone actor in Kennedy’s assassination, the film investigates the possibility that there was another shooter and/or additional outside involvement. Directed and produced by Gerard Alcan, the documentary examines a range of exclusive videos, interviews, and still photographs to explore alternative theories surrounding the event.

With eyewitness testimony from key investigators from the Los Angeles Police Department, The Second Gun raises questions about the mainstream narrative of Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination.
