VIRTUAL JFK FLICK AT THE RED VIC

Come out, come out, conspiracy theorists and friends wherever you are. (And bring those history buffs with you!) There's a flick having its San Francisco premiere at the Red Vic, "Virtual JFK -- Vietnam If Kennedy Had Lived" running from March 20-24.

Multiple screenings and prices. Matinees are just $7.

What if Kennedy wasn't killed on that dark day in Dallas and went on to win a second term in 1964? Would the Vietnam War have escalated as it did under subsequent presidents Johnson and Nixon? Would the '60s have been the '60s? Filmmaker Koji Masutani uses an array of resources including recently declassified and never-before-seen archival footage, documents and audio tapes to create a "virtual history".
