{en} Crisis: Behind a Presidential Commitment [1] (USA, 1963), directed by Robert Drew.
The film centers on the University of Alabama's "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door" integration crisis of June 1963. Drew and the other filmmakers, including D. A. Pennebaker and Richard Leacock, were given expanded access to key areas, including United States President John F. Kennedy's Oval Office and the homes of United States Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and Governor George Wallace of Alabama.
The film first aired on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) as an installment of Close-Up! four months after the incident, on October 28, 1963. Considered among the landmark films of cinéma vérité, or direct cinema, it was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress on December 28, 2011.
