I just watched this on Direct TV. It was pretty good. They started out mentioning the 1961 Pentagon plan for a preemptive strike on the USSR in late 1963. They describe how Averell Harriman changed his views on Vietnam to become an interventionist and actively worked to subvert Kennedy's policies there.
There was no mention of Operation Northwoods, unfortunately. They did talk about the JFK-Khrushchev letters and Norman Cousins, Jean Daniel and Castro. They don't mention the CIA as much as they should have. They show a film clip of Kennedy as a Senator in 1953 visiting Vietnam warning about US involvement there.
Overall they paint a picture of Kennedy trying to avoid nuclear war and develop peaceful coexistence with the Communist world. The assassination is referred to without supporting or opposing the official story.
