Synopsis

"My Father and The Man In Black" is the ONLY inside look at 'bad boy' Johnny Cash - as seen through the eyes of his longtime manager, Saul Holiff – the man who put Johnny together with June. Secretly recorded audio diaries and telephone calls with Johnny Cash from the 1960s and 1970s reveal a brand new side of the legendary singer.
An intense personal adventure that just happens to feature one of 20th-century music's greatest icons, MY FATHER AND THE MAN IN BLACK tells the inside story of Johnny Cash and his talented but troubled manager, Saul Holiff--whose unexplained suicide leaves a son searching for his father in the shadow of a legend.
Mixing found footage, creative re-enactments and poignant voice-over narration, it is also a catharsis for its maker, and engrossing journalism to boot.
