Rekindle the spirit of ‘76.
A feature length documentary that uses newly filmed footage of locations in Plains that were central to the election of Jimmy Carter or serve as landmarks to the identity of the community; while using actor recorded voice overs, rare images, and extensive period footage to frame the narrative.
Told in a measured manner, thematic touch.
There is a power, a nostalgic pull of this election, this candidate, and this incredible community.
Every Carter documentary tends to focus solely on him, his presidency, or his post-presidency, but the story of his community and the 1976 election are not typically explored and has never been a feature documentary.
In this period of pronounced political violence and cynicism, there is something compelling and earnest about this kind of political story.
