The film showcases Habitat for Humanity's 2008 Blitz Build campaign to rebuild the Gulf Coast and demonstrates Carter's far-reaching impact, the result of a determined man who refuses to ignore people in need.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Carters personally built or repaired over 4,000 homes across 14 countries. Secret Service agents reportedly learned to hammer.
This 2008 build came three years after Hurricane Katrina, when federal response remained controversial. The Carters essentially said 'we'll just do it ourselves.'
