"Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President" is not just a tribute to Carter's love of music, but an ode to back when the U.S. used soft power to lead the world.

By mostly avoiding partisan politics, this documentary portrait of the 39th president finds its rhythm.

[T]he documentary delivers on the promise of its title, with a fresh, buoyant look at the importance of music in the former president's personal and political life.

Rating: 3/4 --
[The film] shows how politically effective it was to not just be a part of popular culture but to use it to shape people's perception of a candidate as a man of the people.

Third Coast Review
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Alas, the documentary plays out much like Carter's one term in office: Carrying lots of promise in the beginning, but becoming muddled and unfocused as it goes.

The Movie Cricket
[A] documentary of infectious and lively nostalgia that’s about just what its title says: the fact that Jimmy Carter became the first U.S. president to express, in ways both big and small, a profound affinity with rock ‘n’ roll culture.
Variety
Rating: 3/4 --
A fun soulful documentary that's rarely ever invasive, depicting the type of statesman we're sorely missing today.

Product Description:
This documentary presents a different perspective of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter: as the first sitting president who embraced and encouraged rock-and-roll and championed popular music as an integral part of American culture. The film highlights Carter's affinity for songs that championed the working class, notably by Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson, and his strong bonds and lasting friendships with several musicians such as The Allman Brothers and U2's Bono. The film also shows how he championed various musicians during his time at the White House. Directed by Mary Wharton.
