IS JONATHAN DEMME TAKING JIMMY CARTER'S SIDE?

It would seem as though film director Jonathan Demme is one of the few people who's willing to side with the horrible Jimmy Carter, and has just made a documentary about him called "Man From Plains". John Podhoretz got a news clip about it.

Demme and a camera crew led by Declan Quinn filmed an intimate portrait of Carter as he dealt with the slings and arrows generated by his provocative public appearances across the country.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were favorable towards this awful man. "Intimate"? I think that could signal that this is gonna be bad.

There's an earlier report here that Brandeis University had denied Demme permission to film one of Carter's speeches that says:

Demme said he had hoped Tuesday's speech and the planned question-and-answer session afterward would be part of a powerful ending to his documentary, "He Comes in Peace."

When they speak about a powerful end, that too could tell that something is wrong. And the title given there, which must've been the initial title they were going to give it, also smells fishy.
