What it’s about. John F. Kennedy y Hubert Humphrey se enfrentan por la candidatura a la presidencia en 1960. La cámara sigue la campaña al lado de los candidatos mediante lo que se denominó «el cine de observación» (observational cinema). La tecnología permitía ya en 1960 grabar el sonido sincronizado con la imagen, lo que posibilitaba llevar cámaras más pequeñas al hombro. Ya se podía filmar lo observado sin necesidad de platós, ni de luces, ni de planificación y registrar la vida cotidiana sin manipularla o modificarla. El 'cine de observación', a diferencia del 'cine directo' propone y sugiere la posición estática de la cámara con el fin de no interferir en los acontecimientos. La película fue un gran avance en el estilo documental.

Who’s in it. Primary stars Hubert H. Humphrey as Self, Jacqueline Kennedy as Self, Muriel Buck Humphrey as Self and Joseph Julian as Narrator (voice), among others.
