President Jimmy Carter with Willie Nelson
Oct 29

Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President VOD // Hot Docs at Home

If it hadn’t been for a bottle of scotch and a late-night visit from musician Greg Allman, Jimmy Carter might never have been elected the 39th President of the United States. Discover how Carter’s lifelong passion for music— from soul and gospel, jazz and rock ‘n’ roll—gave him an unexpected edge as a presidential candidate. Through tight bonds with the biggest musicians of the day, and the unifying power of music, Carter tapped into a force that transcended racial and generational divides, and often party lines. Part rockumentary, part presidential portrait, this fascinating film combines interviews with Carter, alongside rare archival performances from Willie Nelson, Aretha Franklin, Paul Simon, and more.
