Saturday, Oct. 16 – Thursday, Oct. 22

The San Diego premiere of this documentary will be held at Digital Gym in North Park (2921 El Cajon Blvd.). The film tells the story of American Roots music including details on “the original” Carter family who helped invent the style at the heart of Americana music.

The film features studio performances by Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, George Jones, Rosanne Cash, Sheryl Crow, Kris Kristofferson and more. Plus interview footage with various players including one of the Man in Black’s last interviews.

The film’s goal is to shine a light on the foundation-forming history of this multi-generational musical family. The influence of the musical contributions of the Carters and Cashes can be felt in country, folk and rock music even today.
