The film features dozens of intimate interviews, rare performances and footage from Carter’s interactions with rock stars.
The film explores the profound impact musicians such as Bob Dylan, Gregg Allman and Willie Nelson had on President Carter, and also his long-lasting and deep friendships that he shared with them.
