Until Reese Witherspoon’s Oscar-winning portrayal in the Johnny Cash biopic, Walk the Line, much of the public was unaware of country music icon June Carter. This documentary offers a more complete, human, and realistic portrait that goes beyond the stereotype of the selfless and saving wife. Family, friends, country stars, and a flood of unseen images reveal a strong, independent, funny, and ambitious personality; her role within the Carter dynasty, her early days on TV, her time as an actress in NY, her “rock and roll years” with Elvis, Dean, and Brando, her divorces… and the overshadowed talent of the author—let’s not forget!—of ‘Ring of Fire’.
