At the end of his rope, Johnny Cash stumbled into a cave and laid down in the dark. But death didn't come calling; God did. JOHNNY CASH: THE REDEMPTION OF AN AMERICAN ICON is the untold story of how "The Man in Black" saw the light. JOHNNY CASH focuses on a critical period in the country music legend's life and career when he went from singing hymns in the cotton fields to playing sold-out stadiums. At the mountaintop professionally, a cycle of depression and drug addiction left Cash in the lowest valley personally. Featuring never-before-heard conversations with the Man in Black himself, the documentary follows Cash's road to redemption and return to his faith, as country music stars Marty Stuart, Wynonna Judd, Tim McGraw and many others share their insights into the life and legacy of the artist, man and friend.

Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette It's a movie that makes a case -- and makes it well except for one niggling point. Laurie insists this is the untold -- or at least under-told -- story of Johnny Cash. I'd counter that Cash's Christianity was never something you could overlook. Rated: 87/100 Dec 6, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
