Synopsis

A 2-hour movie for NBC, On November 22. 1963, a 21-year-old Russian immigrant mother and housewife was thrust into a place in history when her husband, Lee Harvey Oswald, was arrested as a suspect in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Marina is seized by Dallas police and questioned. Two days later Oswald is shot dead by Jack Ruby. Barely able to understand English she enters a nightmare of interrogations about her life with Oswald: their 1961 meeting in Minsk, courtship, marriage and arrival in America in 1962, and their difficult life leading up to that fateful day. She testifies at government hearings and before the Warren Commission. Over the years Marina questions if the whole story has not been told and today, almost 30 years later, still ponders for the truth.
