520    Before gaining notoriety as John Kennedy’s assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald had already become a lightning rod for controversy in his native New Orleans. This short stresses Oswald’s professed belief in Marxism, his brief stay in the Soviet Union, and his return to New Orleans as spokesman for the pro-Castro "Fair Play for Cuba Committee." Prominently featured here, as Oswald’s chief nemesis, is New Orleans’ noted anti-communist crusader Ed Butler (of the Information Council of the Americas), who confronted Oswald on New Orleans radio only three months before the Kennedy assassination. Butler recreates his part of this debate for the camera; the audio track is the actual radio program itself, in which Oswald explains his political views and Marxist convictions. A fascinating time capsule from a turbulent time, Oswald: Self Portrait poses questions about Oswald that remain unanswered.
