DVD Giveaway: Jimmy Carter documentary

posted by Nell Minow | 4:00pm Wednesday March 26, 2008

I have three copies of the outstanding documentary about Jimmy Carter to give to readers. Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme follows Carter as he talks about his controversial book that termed the Israeli occupation of occupied territories “apartheid.” This is a fascinating portrait of a Nobel Prize-winning statesman whose failures as President have been eclipsed by his humanitarian work since leaving office. The DVDs will go to the first three people who email me at moviemom@moviemom.com — good luck! (Be sure to put the title of the DVD you want in the subject line of the email.) man%20from%20plains.jpg

I’m so anxious to see this! I was one of the 2 kids in my 4th grade class who “voted” for Carter in the 1976 election. I’ve always admired the man.
