Music played a surprisingly significant role throughout the 39th President’s life and political career. Directed by Mary Wharton, this engaging feature charts the mostly-forgotten story on film of how Jimmy Carter forged tight bonds with musicians of all genres, including Willie Nelson, the Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan, June Carter and Johnny Cash, and many, many others. The film illuminates an era that saw youth culture and politics join forces for change, and offers a revealing look at a man of deep conscience whose love of music is essential to who he is as a father, a citizen, a man of the South, and a leader during his presidency and beyond.
