A dark, accusatory montage documentary that positions LBJ as a shadowy conspirator behind three pivotal American assassinations, constructed from archival imagery to suggest hidden malevolence.

This is a montage of different images from the JFK, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy triumphs and assassinations, all three events being observed by Lyndon Johnson as the dark figure who is plotting the anti-black rights movement.
