The elusive folk icon even makes a rare on-screen appearance in the documentary, sitting down with the film's director, Mary Wharton, to discuss his friendship with Carter.
"He was a kindred spirit to me of a rare kind. The kind of man you don't meet every day and you're lucky to if you ever do." Nelson has some of the more amusing anecdotes in the documentary. In his 2016 memoir"It's a Long Story: My Life," the country star confessed that he once smoked pot at the White House with a White House staffer.
The documentary explores in broad strokes how Carter's many musician supporters helped him garner the youth vote in 1976, giving the Democrat the cool edge over his Republican opponent, incumbent President Gerald Ford. Superstars including Diana Ross, Dolly Parton and Crosby, Stills & Nash held court with the president, and two of his favorite artists, Paul Simon and Aretha Franklin, performed at his inauguration.
