The Searchers
The first public screening of The Searchers, a feature documentary film by Randolph Benson, co-sponsored by JFK Lancer Productions and Publications.
Fourteen years in the making, the film uses never before seen interviews, archival footage and recently declassified documents to chronicle the past and present of these ordinary citizens and their contributions to revealing the truth about the crime of the 20th century.
Suffering ridicule, and being labeled with the intellectual scarlet letter of conspiracy theorists, these individuals have challenged the institutions of power for over 50 years. They have fought against great odds to, as they often proclaim, “take back our history!’
The film features Cyril Wecht, Robert Groden, Josiah “Tink” Thompson, Mark Lane, John Judge, Jim Marrs, Jim DiEugenio, Debra Conway, Gary Aguilar, Lisa Pease, Rex Bradford, Walt Brown, Andy Winiarczyk and John Kelin, among many others.
Director/Producer Randolph Benson’s work has garnered numerous awards, most notably an Oscar for Best Student Documentary at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Academy Awards. His work has been featured at film festivals around the world and has been broadcast on HBO, Bravo, the Independent Film Channel, numerous public television stations, Canal Plus–France, Telewizja Polska S.A.–Poland, and KBS-Korea. Benson received an Eastman Kodak Excellence in Filmmaking Award at the Cannes Film Festival and a First Appearance Award at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam.
All profits from this special screening will go to the JFK Lancer Student Scholarship Fund.
