About

Agent Number 9 is a new feature documentary film from Blackbird Pictures. It unveils the extraordinary story of Clint Hill, a legendary historical figure 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. Hill climbed onto President Kennedy’s limousine and shielded the president and Mrs. Kennedy with his own body until their arrival at Parkland Memorial Hospital. 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), Mr. Hill has had a supremely unique front-row seat to some of the most significant moments of the twentieth century. Crossing paths with presidents, first ladies, kings, queens, prime ministers, and a host of brave fellow servicemen and women, Mr. Hill has lived a remarkable life in service to the nation, and in more specific devotion, to the Office of the President of the United States of America. A deeply intimate and poignant portrait, this new documentary 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 Vietnam, the Watergate Scandal, and more. He also shares his insights and reflections on his personal struggles with guilt and depression, in the aftermath of the assassination.
