The Winding Stream

The documentary takes up a musical family. The family stands at the roots of American country music. The account begins in Virginia. The first group was made of three people. A.P. Carter, his wife Sara and Sara’s cousin Maybelle. Their recordings left a wide mark on the country. The generations that followed were built on them. In time the family joined with the Cash family. The documentary tells the two families together. Johnny Cash speaks in the film. The interview was made a few weeks before his death. Rosanne Cash and John Carter Cash give their accounts too. There are performances by other musicians in the work as well. Beth Harrington directed the eighty seven minute documentary. The American production was finished in 2014.
