America was never great except when Willie Nelson smoked weed with Jimmy Carter’s son in the White House
MarieFeb 5, 2021Before watching this documentary, all I really knew about Jimmy Carter (besides the obvious) was his work with ‘Habitats for Humanity.’ Spoiler alert: Jimmy Carter seems to be a nice man. As the title implies, this doc specifically focuses on Carter’s relationship with…

Carter himself ties a bow on the film, noting that music is a galvanizing force and that what will unite mankind is a shared respect for truth, God, freedom and democracy. That and a righteous Allman Brothers jam.
