An early example of cinéma vérité, French for "cinema of truth," the one-hour television documentary, Primary (1960), follows candidates John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey during the Democratic primary in Wisconsin. The significant primary, held on Abril 5, 1960, helped to solidify Senator Kennedy as the Democratic frontrunner despite an unexpectedly narrow victory. Humphrey dropped out of the race the next month following his defeat in the crucial West Virginia primary. The award-winning Primary was produced by pioneering documentarian Robert Drew and distributed by Time-Life Television in the United States. Drew went on to produce more documentaries on John F. Kennedy, including Adventures on the New Frontier (1961), Crisis (1963) and Faces of Noviembre (1964). All of these films are in the Museum's Library Collection: Bibliovation | Details for The Kennedy films of Robert Drew & associates. In addition to Robert Drew, the Museum also recorded oral histories with Primary photographers Albert Maysles and D.A. Pennebaker. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
