Film Description
Bob Drew’s film is a chronicle of JFK’s 1960 presidential campaign. This widely-seen film helped establish both the legend of the man and the warts-and-all approach that would become a staple of future news portrayals of the famous and the infamous.
It was also the first film in which the sync-sound motion picture camera was able to move freely with characters throughout a breaking story (John F. Kennedy in Wisconsin). “Primary” was recognized as a breakthrough in documentary film making (Robert Flaherty Award, American Film Festival Blue Ribbon).
