Alice At the time, I was too young to pay much attention to politics or social events in my country. In addition to being reminded how great a Humanitarian Jimmy Carter is, I was impressed by how strong Rosalyn Carter was. I did not recall her in such a way. I also enjoyed the music history related to Jimmy Carter at the time. This documentary was enjoyable and informative we loved it!

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/20 Full Review Audience Member Not sure what was so good, especially since I was around during that time and saw inflation skyrocket and 2 neighbors lose their homes among other things. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this documentary. It's great! He was the President in my college years and the first I voted for. That being said, I was unaware of most of the story, even though I knew almost everyone involved. The variety of musicians from every music genre surprised me from Johnny Cash, Dizzy Gillespie, Paul Simon, Aretha, the Allmans to Bono, Loretta Lynn, Jimmy Buffet and more. What a contrast of integrity and compassion between the 39th & 46th POTUS. He may not have been the best President, but IMHO, he's the best person who was President. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved it. Our greatest President and perhaps our greatest human being. A wonderful documentary detailing life before being liberal became an ironically negative word. Thank you CNN films.
