We Mudcatters seem to have missed the two Kickstarter campaigns related to this documentary... funds can still be used to finish production. It should be out within a year!

The Winding Stream (film site)

The Winding Stream is the tale of the dynasty at the very heart of country music. Starting with the seminal Original Carter Family, A.P., Sara and Maybelle; this film-in-progress traces the ebb and flow of their influence, the transformation of that act into the Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle, the marital alliance between June Carter and music legend Johnny Cash, and the efforts of the present-day family to keep this legacy alive.

A story that has never been told in its entirety. The Winding Stream covers the epic sweep of this family's saga all in one film. It is told by family members [shooting began in 2003]; including Johnny Cash, Rosanne Cash, Janette Carter, as well as the musicians they influenced. And their musical contribution is vividly illustrated in performances by roots music practitioners like John Prine, George Jones, Sheryl Crow, Kris Kristofferson and many others.

We have filmed over 60 hours of original material and have just a small amount of shooting left in order to complete the production phase of the film. The film has been funded from significant grants provided by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and the Faerie Godmother Fund in addition to many private donations. We now seek funding to cover the last part of the shooting, post-production, music and archival costs.

A previous music documentary of Beth Harrington's, "Welcome to the Club - the Women of Rockabilly", aired on PBS in 2002 and was nominated for a Grammy in 2003. Used DVDs are going for $50 on amazon.com.

Two films to look out for.
