. In the film, Wharton traces how Carter's approachability and the unifying power of music became key to his political appeal and allowed him to connect with voters.
Wharton's credits include documentaries on Sam Cooke, Joan Baez, Phish and Farrah Fawcett. She won the 2004 Grammy for best music film for “The film accurately captures my love for all music and the importance music has played in my personal and professional life. I remain hopeful and believe that music can serve to bring us together as a nation," Carter said in a statement.
Added Tribeca co-founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal, “We witness the power of art inspiring change and the positive impact of citizens raising their voices against injustice everyday. As filmmakers, we were inspired to create the Tribeca Film Festival after 9/11 because we believe in the power of art to restore community and inspire change. Mary and Chris' film, likewise, is a testament to that power.
The fest this year is also partnering with Democracy Works and Civic Alliance, a coalition of businesses working to build a future where everyone can vote, volunteer and take action to shape the country. Festival audiences will be given access to online voting tools to help people get involved in their local elections.
And, with this year's edition, Tribeca is expanding across the Hudson River to Hoboken, New Jersey, using cinematic storytelling and experiences to connect to the community. The 19th annual Tribeca Film Festival is set to run April 15-26.
