Oliver Stone’s JFK
In Person: Jesse Ventura
Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of JFK’s assassination, the CAC presents, in person, JESSE VENTURA with a special screening of his close friend and collaborator, director Oliver Stone’s acclaimed film, JFK, followed by a book-signing and reception. Best-selling author Ventura’s THEY KILLED OUR PRESIDENT is the comprehensive summary to date of all evidence or theories about conspiracy relating to JFK. It is “must reading” on this tragic anniversary. Jesse Ventura is a ubiquitous, straight-talking and controversial commentator of national TV; the former famed wrestling pro known as “The Body” – as well as a former Navy Seal AND the former Governor of Minnesota. Ventura plans to run for president in 2016 as a NO party candidate, beholden only to the public. Join us for what will surely be a stimulating, controversial, colorful – and highly entertaining – afternoon with the inimitable Jesse Ventura.
