07/11/2013 I had of course heard the soundtrack countless times but had never seen the images of Cash playing at Folsom Prison. For the evening, the prisoners felt liberated and united in their common issues so wonderfully sung by Cash. A great moment in history. See more 03/01/2012 Great music and a great story. See more 01/17/2011 considering this was reconstructed without any live footage, its pretty impressive...probably helps if u're a Cash fan (I am) but an interesting look at a career defining moment See more 08/07/2010 Un documental interesante que retrata de cerca el espíritu de johnny Cash y establece cierto paralelo entre la desgracia de los reos y los prpios fantasmas de Cash, como sus adicciones. A pesar de no ser largo, la duración se siente y puede tener que vre con que no hay registros en video del show que dio Cash al grabar ese disco. Interesante sobretodo para músicos. See more 01/18/2010 Better than walk the line, and far more detailed on Cash's live and exploits. See more 06/19/2009 The film has a unique way of coming at telling the story of a much written about person and event but the narrative isn't as focused as it should be and poor Johnny almost gets lost in the mix.
