This excellent documentary by Jonathan Demme chronicles the tour of former President Jimmy Carter on his controversial book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid". Demme manages to brings Carter up close and personal about his life and mission for peace. It shows that even somebody like Jimmy Carter can't speak the truth when it comes to Israel without any repercussion. The extreme bias from the media towards Israel and lobbyist's mighty power have silenced any criticism when it comes towards the Palestinian side. It's disheartening to see a man like Carter to be treated in the way he was in the media. Demme got an all access from the Carters and various media outlets for this documentary. The films is beautifully shot and edited. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
