Peo 0 Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President - TrailerIf it hadn’t been for a bottle of scotch and a late-night visit from musician Gregg Allman, Jimmy Carter might never have been elected the 39th President of the United States. The documentary charts the mostly forgotten story of how Carter, a lover of all types of music, forged a tight bond with musicians Willie Nelson, the Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan and others. Low on campaign funds and lacking in name recognition, Carter relied on support from these artists to give him a crucial boost in the Democratic primaries. Once Carter was elected, the musicians became frequent guests in the White House. The surprisingly significant role that music played throughout Carter’s life and in his work becomes a thread in this engaging portrait of one of the most enigmatic Presidents in American history.Directed by: Mary WhartonStarring: Jimmy Carter, Bob Dylan, Garth Brooks, Bono, Rosanne Cash, Madeleine Albright, Willie Nelson, Nile Rodgers Apple trailers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
