A new Johnny Cash documentary is set to air on A&E. “Johnny Cash: The Man Comes Around” is being described as “an intimate family portrait, a true crime thriller, and a revelatory deconstruction of the Man in Black, examining the legendary artist through his profound connection to the island of Jamaica.” The documentary investigates the 1981 Christmas Day home invasion during which the Cash family was held hostage by masked gunmen. The story is told for the first time by Cash himself, in never-before-heard audio recordings, alongside rare photos, home video, and interviews with his son John Carter Cash, who was present during the robbery, as well as family members Rosanne Cash and Carlene Carter, and musicians and collaborators including Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle and Will Oldham. No word yet on when the documentary will debut.
