American Experience: Jimmy Carter

(Jimmy Who?) A documentary tracing the ascent of an ambitious boy from a peanut farm in Plains, Georgia, to the Oval Office. It examines Jimmy Carter's political leadership and the role religion played in his career after he took power during a time of post-Watergate disaffection with Washington politics. The programme also considers his key achievement, the Camp David Accords that established a framework for peace in the Middle East, a subject that became the inspiration for his life after the White House.
