The 2020 Tribeca Film Festival will open with the world premiere of the documentary 'Jimmy Carter Rock & Roll President.'
Jimmy Carter Rock & Roll PresidentThe film, directed by Mary Wharton, illustrates the role of popular music and Carter's passion for it in helping propel the Georgia peanut farmer to the White House. The doc was written by Bill Flanagan and produced by Chris Farrell.
The doc combines interviews with Carter and archival footage of performances from Nelson, Aretha Franklin, Jimmy Buffett and Paul Simon. In the film, Wharton traces how Carter's approachability and the unifying power of music became key to his political appeal and allowed him to connect with voters. Tribeca co-founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal added, “We witness the power of art inspiring change and the positive impact of citizens raising their voices against injustice everyday. As filmmakers, we were inspired to create the Tribeca Film Festival after 9/11 because we believe in the power of art to restore community and inspire change. Mary and Chris' film, likewise, is a testament to that power.
