Primary

Aroview: Landmark documentary captures the charismatic JFK as he contests the Wisconsin Democratic Primary with Hubert Humphrey.

One of the first films of the 'direct cinema' movement this is perhaps a little too good at conveying the sheer drudgery of political campaigning, but as a historical record of the political process this is essential viewing. Shot by future documentary luminaries Robert Leacock and Albert Maysles and edited by D.A. Pennebaker.
