'Jimmy Carter: Rock and Roll President'

"Jimmy Carter: Rock and Roll President" traces how rock music helped propel Jimmy Carter to the White House. It also outlines the vital role that music has played in the life and work of the president.

The part-rockumentary, part-presidential portrait will hit theaters and virtual cinema on September 9. It was directed by Mary Wharton.

"The documentary also includes interviews with several other great musicians.

They include Bono, Madeleine Albright, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Rosanne Cash, Jimmy Buffett, Andrew Young, among others. The documentary will also feature the performances of Dylan, Simon, Nelson, Buffet, and more.

After the release of "Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President" in theaters and virtual cinemas on September 9, the home entertainment release will follow on October 9."

Can't wait.
