Primary is a documentary film about the primary elections between John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey in 1960.

This unconventional way of filming created a new look for documentary films where the camera’s lens was right in the middle of what ever drama was occurring. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with The Film Foundation in 1998.

Andrew Jackson: Good, Evil & The Presidency
A fascinating account of the presidency of Andrew Jackson, who was both one of America's great presidents and a borderline tyrant.

Television news and public affairs programs became a great improvement over the scanty information offered by the newsreels. This documentary offers insight into a medium which has disappeared.

Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr: Ronald Reagan
The wish was father to the thought: instead of asking Mr. Reagan conventionally worded questions about his candidacy, as he had done Messrs.

The Obama Years: The Power of Words
Barack Obama launched into our national consciousness at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and ever since, he's delivered messages of patriotism, unity, and hope through the power of words.
