Eight strangers have a perfect view of the kill, but what did they really see? As the minutes leading up to the fatal shot are replayed through the eyes of each eyewitness, the reality of the assassination takes shape.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Rashomon effect' became a Hollywood obsession in the 2000s; this is its most shamelessly literal application since 'Hero' (2002).
