Adventures on the New Frontier plot

The documentary follows newly elected President John F. Kennedy around the White House as he goes about his day-to-day business and meets with several people in the Oval Office to discuss government issues. Flashbacks to the 1960 campaign and footage from his 1961 inauguration show Kennedy rising to take on "the free world's greatest responsibility." Complementing the president's discussions on policy, the camera shows the economic hardships of a West Virginia mining town and the directors take viewers on a diplomatic journey to Ethiopia.
