February Movie Night - Jimmy Carter, Rock & Roll President

In honor of the recently deceased 39th president, February's film is described by Rotten Tomatoes (95% rating) as "A portrait showing how Jimmy Carter's lifelong passion for music gave him an unexpected edge as a presidential candidate. Through folk, soul, gospel, jazz and rock 'n' roll, Carter tapped into a force that transcended divides."

"This rockumentary-style presidential portrait shows how Jimmy Carter reinvigorated a post-Watergate America-with the music of the counterculture, including the Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and Jimmy Buffett. 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."
