directed by Beth Harrington USA, 2014, English, 90 minutes
A music history documentary-in-progress, “The Winding Stream” tells the story of the American roots music dynasty at the very heart of country music. Starting with the original Carter Family—A.P., Sara and Maybelle—the film traces the ebb and flow of their influence as three of the earliest stars of country music. No one has yet pulled together all the elements of this rich history in one documentary. Honoring this multi-generational family, from the early days, on through the rise of Johnny and June Carter Cash and to where it stands now—“The Winding Stream” starts at the headwaters of American roots music.
