Today, we spoke with\xa0with the pair about Carter and their recent film.\n\nThe documentary debuted at the 2021 Atlanta Film Festival. The filmmakers say\xa0"Carterland" will be widely available soon.\n\nPanelists:\n\nPatricia Murphy \u2013 Political Writer, The\xa0Atlanta Journal-Constitution\nJim Pattiz - Filmmaker, "Carterland"\nWill Pattiz \u2013 Filmmaker, "Carterland"
