The Story of an American Hero

Produced in association with the Academy Award-winning production company behind Summer of Soul and The Fog of War, Agent Number 9 tells the remarkable story of former U.S. 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 ran into the line of fire, 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. At the age of 91, 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 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 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, being head of LBJ’s detail during the height of the Vietnam War, and the impact the job on his personal life. Agent Number 9 is a unique and personal journey through American history and the life of a remarkable man.
