In the 1950s and 60s, Johnny Cash realized his own 'American dream'. He worked his way up from a cotton picker's son to a superstar with his own television show. He was a true storyteller, but he didn't always stick strictly to the truth. Joost Botman delves into the history of Cash, 'The Man in Black'. His story is full of contradictions: drug use and religion, patriotism and conceit, a family man with a fascination for dark themes.
