Primary Plot and Cast
Primary is a documentary film about the 1960 primary elections between John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey. It was the first documentary to use light equipment to follow its subjects in a more intimate filmmaking style. This unconventional approach created a new look for documentary films, with the camera's lens right in the middle of whatever drama was occurring. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with The Film Foundation in 1998.
