In 1960,when the documentary Primary captured John F. Kennedy on the campaign trail in Wisconsin, it also represented a breakthrough in technology for hand-held camera crews, or bringing cinéma vérit to non-fiction filmmaking. Three years later,Kennedy allowed the same team and cameras into the White House for the film Crisis, approximately the administration's civil-rights showdown with segregationist Gov. George Wallace. Now these films have been restored by Criterion as The Kennedy Films of Robert Drew & Associates. — Thom Powersand Raphaela NeihausenFor more information, or click here to visit the official film web site.
