Abraham Zapruder didnt know when he ran home to grab his video camera on November 22  1963 that this single spontaneous decision would change his familys life for generations to come. Originally intended as a home movie of President Kennedys motorcade  Zapruders film of the JFK assassination is now shown in every American history class  included in Jeopardy and Trivial Pursuit questions  and referenced in novels and films. It is the most famous example of citizen journalism  a precursor to the iconic images of our time  such as the Challenger explosion  the Rodney King beating  and the 9\/11 attack on the Twin Towers. But few know the complicated legacy of the film itself.  Now Abrahams granddaughter  Alexandra Zapruder  is ready to tell the complete story for the first time. With the help of the Zapruder familys exclusive records  memories  and documents  Zapruder tracks the films torturous journey through history  all while American society undergoes its own transformation  and a new media-driven consumer culture challenges traditional ideas of privacy  ownership  journalism  and knowledge.  Part biography  part family history  and part historical narrative  Zapruder demonstrates how one mans unwitting moment in the spotlight shifted the way politics  culture  and media intersect  bringing about the larger social questions that define our age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983650615349,"sku":"ByrdShop_1455574813","price":28.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781455574810.jpg?v=1770804833","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/twentysix-seconds-a-personal-history-of-the-zapruder-film","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
