THE WINDING STREAM: THE CARTERS, THE CASHES and THE COURSE OF COUNTRY MUSIC
Documentary Feature by Beth Harrington, Winner Audience Award, Best Feature Documentary, WHFF 2014, 90 min.
The Winding Stream is the tale of the dynasty at the very heart of country music. Starting with the seminal Original Carter Family, A.P., Sara and Maybelle; the film traces the ebb and flow of their influence, the transformation of that act into the Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle, the marital alliance between June Carter and music legend Johnny Cash, and the efforts of the present-day family to keep this legacy alive. A story that has never been told in its entirety. The Winding Stream covers the epic sweep of this family’s saga all in one film. It is told by family members; including Johnny Cash, Rosanne Cash, Janette Carter, as well as the musicians they influenced. And their musical contribution is vividly illustrated in performances by roots music practitioners like John Prine, George Jones, Sheryl Crow, Kris Kristofferson and many others.
