JOHNNY CASH: THE REDEMPTION OF AN AMERICAN ICON is a documentary getting a brief theatrical release. It tells how the influential country and folk music singer, songwriter lost his way after becoming addicted to amphetamines, became estranged from his wife and family, and started an affair with country singer June Carter. His crisis of faith reached a lowpoint in 1967 after his wife divorced him. However, he returned to Jesus and became a strong spokesman for the Gospel. Interviews with several music stars, Johnny’s sister and one of his sons, and two pastors complete the movie’s portrayal of Johnny Cash.
