Primary is a documentary about the 1960 Democratic Party primary election in Wisconsin between John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey.
Produced by Robert Drew, the film was a breakthrough in documentary film style. For the first time, a crew used mobile cameras and lighter sound equipment, and the filmmakers were able to follow the candidates as they wound their way through cheering crowds, cram with them into cars and crowded hotel rooms. This resulted in a greater intimacy than was possible with the older, more classical techniques of documentary filmmaking, and it established what has since become the standard style of video reporting.
