"Every thinking person should see DEATH OF A PRESIDENT." - Peter Howell, The Toronto Star
"This convincingly staged television "documentary" falls into a tradition of fictionalized British films... that use nonfiction techniques to explore contemporary social and political issues... Most of all, DEATH OF A PRESIDENT is electrifying drama." - Jim Emerson, RogerEbert.com

Wish fulfillment or fantasy speculation? Well done and timely in the Trump era with its utter lack of moral or ethical standards.
thought provoking and intelligent. points made in film even more applicable today, unfortunately.
Assassinations solve nothing; there's always another American war criminal waiting for his or her turn to wage war in the name of "freedom." Well worth watching.
