Johnny Cash’s Bitter Tears

PBS is airing a documentary by my friend Antonino D’Ambrosio based on his book “A Heartbeat and a Guitar: Johnny Cash and the Making of Bitter Tears,” the film tells the story behind Cash’s lost Native American-themed concept album and his unique collaboration with folk artist Peter Lafarge. The film is great, so if you dig Johnny Cash and social justice, be sure to check it out!
