Pretty good flick, it follows Jimmy Carter as the goes about sellling his 2006 book "Palestine: Peace not Apartheid" It is amazing how many of the people who interview him clearly are judging a book by its cover. Its a shame that we can't have one excutive over economics and another over world affairs, because Carter is the best man for a world were a state must exist. I do hope someday they make a good movie on his life.

I enjoyed this documentary on Jimmy Carter. Yes... Jimmy... back when presidents were intelligent. ;-)

Valuable American document

tanta muerte por una supuesta tierra santa... Documental de JonathanDemme acerca de la gira de JimmyCarter promocionando su controversial libro:"Palestine:Peace,Not Apartheid", causando indignación en Israel y los judíos.

Very insightful documentary about 39th president Jimmy Carter, focusing on the controversy surrounding his book Palestine, Peace Not Apartheid. It's amazing to see ill-informed (and, frankly, stupid) people criticizing both the book and Carter while admitting they hadn't read the book. Carter is brilliant and humble and an incredible statesman, and it shows in this documentary.

I'm a huge Jimmy Carter fan, but this movie is a borderline snorefest. It has nice cinematography and good production values but there is almost no conflict whatsoever. Boring.

Whether you love jimmy carter, hate him, or don't have an opinion of him, after watching this film you'll come to admire him, not for his willingness to speak out from an unpopular perspective or his ability to polarize, but, if nothing else, for his ability to do more as a man well into his 80s than most men could dream of doing in a lifetime. 3 stars because it is a very incomplete portrait of a man who probably needs a miniseries to explore with any kind of real depth.

Loved it! I enjoyed this peak into his life as he promoted his book about Palestine

The last president that made me feel proud to be an American.

Growing up in a Republican household, I still managed to mature into a card carrying liberal with residual ambivalence and misunderstanding for Carter's contributions during his presidency. I enjoyed this documentary very much, and learned that Carter is actually a very tough, strong, intelligent and opinionated man that I very much respect and admire for reasons beyond his charitable contributions and furniture making prowess.

Seems on the surface to be a biography of Carter, but it's really a tour film following him on the tour for his book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid." As that, it's interesting, but I was hoping for more about his past as well.

I loved, loved, loved this movie, both for it's content and because it was just a well-made documentary. Great soundtrack by Gillian Welch and friends.

What can I say, Im a sucker for a good presidential documentary.

An excellent documentary. I've always been a fan of President Carter and was fortunate to have heard many lectures from him while a student at Emory University. However, this documentary surprised me as the former President showcases true leadership. This is a very difficult issue that he tackles and one that certainly has, and will continue to draw a great deal of criticism. I would be interested to know how past Israeli leaders would have reacted to his claims, or whether such dialogue would even have been necessary in the first place had history not intervened to end their lives. I can only hope that current and future Presidents show as much courage and leadership in their post Presidential tenures as Mr. Carter has during his. Regardless of how one might interpret his own Presidency, there is no arguing that he has done a great deal of good and inspiring work in the years since. This documentary is just a glimpse.

Great profile of Carter. Not a retrospective as much as a look at what he's doing *today* to help solve world problems.

Excellent film. Pres Carter is the kind of leader we need in this troubled world; highly intelligent, committed to justice, and a true humanitarian. Yeah,...I'm a fan. always have been.

Growing up I thought he was just a peanut eating president many people criticized but this movie shows what an outstanding humanitarian Jimmy Carter is. He is brilliant and honest. Loved this!

This movie made me yearn for times past, when the white house was the very bastion and beacon of the indefinable yet heartfelt belief that America meant something. When the man who inhabited our communal home was a living example of what it meant to have integrity, to put the needs of other above your own, to believe in service and honesty and truth. Carter was, arguably, a mediocre President but he was one of the best human beings to ever hold the office.

absolutely incredible...incredible man of faith and cares about the world..

This was a great portrait of a solidly good man.
