That said, I'd highly suggest watching the Oliver Stone documentary. I don't think anyone could honestly watch it and see all the evidence---not, as you implied, merely the POV of the filmmaker, but actual historical documents, footage, etc.--and not at least come to the conclusion that Oswald didn't act alone and that there were elements in the government, including a later president (Gerald Ford) who played an active role in covering up the answer to my question.

Getting to that point is the key here. Because once you are there, then you have to start pondering the nature of American power and also how much of what has come in the wake of the Kennedy assassination has been a bastardization of democracy. In other words, this was a political coup and if it had happened in other countries, especially one's America (and our media) considers its enemy, we'd have no trouble calling it that.

Last, I was listening to a fascinating chat between a man named Lex Fridman and a man named Michael Malice. Lex grew up in Russian and Michael, who is of Ukranian descent, grew up with strong ties to that culture. Both were talking about how Americans have almost this beautiful, naive innocence about the nature of evil and how it operates in the powerful. I think the JFK assassination is the window into recognizing this in the US but it's a pretty bitter red pill, so many don't want to take it. Do you?
