President Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter(2002) This 2-video American Experience documentary provides clear insight into the strengths and weaknesses of an ex-Georgia governor who served as a one-term president. His born-again-Christian integrity and penchant for details did not prevent a malaise in the White House. Rosalynn, the first First Lady who regularly attended Cabinet meetings, clearly was a powerful lady. This also focuses on Carter’s post-White House career that culminated in his receiving the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize.

Jimmy Carter: To the White House and Beyond(1995) Ex-President Carter looks a lot better in 1995 than he did to hostage/inflation-sickened voters in 1980.
