Miss Lillian: More Than a President's Mother

In this inspiring and intimate documentary, Lillian Carter's progressive views on race are shaped by her life as a nurse in the rural South and profoundly influence her son, President Jimmy Carter. The film centers around rare interviews with historical figures of the Carter era, including former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, Los Angeles Dodger legend Tommy Lasorda, longtime ABC White House correspondent Sam Donaldson - and of course her son Jimmy, who at 96, no longer sits for interviews. In candid moments, President Carter reflects on his remarkable mother, who passed her deeply held humanitarian values on to her children, the eldest of whom would become the 39th President of the United States.
