One of the most interesting newsreels... In 1933, an Anarchist attempted to assassinate newly-elected FDR, and a camera was rolling https://newsreels.net/v/4bf7ept

I would love to be able to download these in bulk to my Jellyfin server. That in conjunction with something like ErsatzTV would be fun to have running on my TV while I work at my current home office.
