Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President

I think there are a few things that are clear about Jimmy Carter. 1. He is a very good human being. 2. His Presidency was marred by problems and has not been viewed in the eye of political history as a successful one. This movie looks at Carter and his Presidency through the lens of Gospel and Rock N' Roll. Through looking at the his musical influences and his love of artists like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Mahalia Jackson, and Greg Allman the film gives a good look at the "soul" of President Carter. This one is a well made documentary. Good interviews, with musicians, family, and the man himself. Terrific news and historic footage from Carter's political ascension in Georgia and beyond. The film does a good job of looking at Carter's life against the backdrop of racial segregation and prejudice Carter grew up and succeeded against. This one is worthwhile for history buffs, musics buffs, and documentary buffs. I liked it a lot.
