My Father and The Man In Black is a new documentary featuring Johnny Cash that promises to be unlike anything you've seen before. Written and directed by Jonathan Holiff, the son of Johnny's former manager, Saul Holiff , the movie features huge amounts of unseen material. Father and son had been estranged for 20 years when Holiff committed suicide in 2005. Six months later, Jonathan discovered a storage locker his father had kept for 30 years. It contained audiotapes of phone calls his father had made with Cash, hundreds of letters and other personal mementos. Brought together from more than 60 hours of audio described as "eyewitness contemporaneous accounts" of what happened to Johnny and Saul, this film will likely rewrite much of the history books.
