The Story of an American Hero

Agent Number 9 tells the remarkable story of former United States Secret Service agent, Clint Hill, who served five Presidents from Eisenhower to Ford and was Jackie Kennedy's agent-in-charge. On November 22, 1963, Hill climbed onto the back of the Presidential limousine and shielded the stricken President and Mrs. Kennedy with his own body until the arrival at Parkland Hospital - his actions recorded in the Zapruder film. Now in his nineties, Hill reflects on his life, career, and that fateful day in Dallas. Clint Hill and Lisa McCubbin Hill are co-authors of several bestsellers, including Mrs. Kennedy and Me and Five Presidents.

About

Agent Number 9 is a new feature documentary from filmmaker Ashton Gleckman (Kennedy) and the Academy Award-winning team behind Summer of Soul and The Fog of War, RadicalMedia. It unveils the extraordinary story of Clint Hill, who is best known for his harrowing act of bravery as a Secret Service agent during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. But, this is about so much more than the assassination. A secret service agent for five U.S. Presidents (Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford), Hill has had a supremely unique front-row seat to some of the most significant moments of the twentieth century. A deeply intimate and poignant portrait, Agent Number 9 features hours of unprecedented interviews with Hill at the reflective age of ninety-one. It explores his sincere and close relationship with Jacqueline Kennedy as the head of her Secret Service detail between 1960 and 1964, the fallout of President Kennedy’s assassination, and being head of LBJ’s detail during the height of the Vietnam War. Agent Number 9 is a unique and personal journey through American history.
