The video is a 13 minute clip, narrated by Stephen King. It uses CBS News archival footage from back then to set the mood of the book. It shows some speeches from JFK, as well as some stuff about Oswald. And yes, they do show Oswald getting shot. I do not believe they show JFK getting shot. If they do, it's a very broad view and not anything graphic. The video is well done, and I feel it was worth the $2 extra. I will watch again once I'm done with the book.
As for violence, yes, there are some VERY violent scenes. Mainly having to do with grisly details of assaults and murders. I'm almost 60% done, and I wouldn't classify anything I have seen so far as "horror". Definitely violent in spots though.
Hope this helps some of you.
