The Criterion collection

In 1960, a filmmaking group was granted direct access to John F. Kennedy, filming him on the campaign trail and eventually in the Oval Office. This resulted in three films of remarkable, behind-closed-doors intimacy, Primary, Adventures on the New Frontier, and Crisis, and, following the president's assassination, the poetic short Faces of November. Collected here are all four of these titles, early exemplars of the movement known as Direct Cinema

Primary (53 minutes) (1960) -- Adventures on the new frontier (52 minutes) (1961) -- Crisis (53 minutes) (1963) -- Faces of November (12 minutes) (1964)
