Plot: Participant Productions, the same studio that heralded An Inconvenient Truth into theaters returns with an insider's look into former president Jimmy Carter's book tour as seen through the eyes of director Jonathan Demme. Using an experimental approach, the camera follows the promotional tour and subsequent reaction to the ex-head of state's controversial tome {-Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid}, which theorizes a Middle East peace solution and how Israel's staunch stance has negatively effected the region. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide

A truly well done documentary
Added 9/14/2009

I have Netflix and was able to watch this.

It is an excellent documentary and shows the man behind the scenes as he promotes his book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.

I challenge anyone to find any recent politician with half the respect, courtesy, humanity and intelligence that Carter has.

I know Carter is going around helping communities and small countries and the Bush's are pretending to be common ranch owners as they pick their toes, reaping in more money from the Saudi's still and giving almost nothing back.

A Repugnant Film
Added 6/16/2009

A one-sided hagiography of a failed president who slanders an American Ally (Israel) for trying to protect itself from Palestinian terror bombers. In this film, Carter is self-pitying, unctous and surrounded by sycophants--he wears his piety on his sleeve.

Apparently, the man has no sense of shame--even after contributing (as President) to runaway hyperinflation, endless unemployment, gasoline lines, Iranian hostages, "malaise", and a "giant rabbit" which unfortunately missed its target. And now the Dorkus is once again singing the praises of Hamas. OK--the man can build houses . But he weakened this country tremendously. He was a disgrace as a leader and was soundly defeated in a landslide election after only 1 term.

More recently, he said on PBS that no senator or congressman, "Could ever vote against an issue favored by the Israeli lobby." And he said this with a mean, goofy, sarcastic smirk. You'll learn nothing from this film which is to be avoided!!

A man of courage and truth
Added 3/22/2009

Good documentary about the work of Jimmy Carter,telling the truth about what is going on in Palestine.It is interesting to see how the medias tried always to put him down , most of them are pro Israel and you understand why the whole country has been brainwashed by the medias.
Thank you Mr. Carter for your courage to just show the truth.

It's an okay purchase
Added 1/9/2009

I was impressed with the delivery time as it was faster than the expected delivery date and was in time to give as a Christmas gift for my father-in-law. However, slightly disappointed that it comes in a slim cardboard-like case for what I paid for the DVD. I was hoping it was going to be a nice plastic dvd case like most dvds are supposed to come in. My father-in-law liked the dvd but was somewhat disappointed it wasn't in a nice case, too.
