Walk The Line

Epic? Legendary? Yeah, we’d say those words sum up the flick Walk The Line and Johnny Cash himself. At the start of the Rock N’ Roll era, Cash emerged on the scene and quickly became a star. While on tour, he met fellow singer June Carter and fell head over heels in love, although he was already married at the time. “The Man in Black” married June two years after his divorce and Cash credits her with helping him overcome his substance abuse problems. Cash and Carter raised their children, created music, and toured together for a staggering 35 years until June’s death in May 2003, four months later and Cash passed away.
