Friday on Political Rewind: It has become a commonplace cliche to say Jimmy Carter’s tenure as President of the United States was fraught with disappointment. Carter's term was colored by multiple crises, low approval numbers and a lost reelection bid. Pundits often says Carter made a far more significant mark on the world after leaving office than he was able to achieve in the White House.

But as the years have passed, reassessments of the Jimmy Carter presidency are painting him in a different light. A new documentary by two Georgia-born filmmakers, brothers Will and Jim Pattiz make the case that Carter was a visionary who promoted policies far ahead of their time; on racial justice, world peace, sustainable energy and much more. Today, we spoke with with the pair about Carter and their recent film.

The documentary debuted at the 2021 Atlanta Film Festival. The filmmakers say "Carterland" will be widely available soon.
