Praise for The Winding Stream

“Thoughtfully assembled to showcase the music and the temperaments behind it, this jam-packed oral history of the Carter and Cash families weaves the voices of prominent musicians with those of family members past and present. Leading us from Poor Valley, Va. through decades of personal and professional landmarks, Ms. Harrington sweeps divorce, disappointment and the Great Depression into a single, upbeat package.” NYT Critics’ Pick.

“Rocker-turned-documentarian Beth Harrington celebrates the Carter and Cash family and its enduring contributions to country, folk and roots music in The Winding Stream, an impressively researched and deftly crafted feature that doubtless will find an appreciative audience…”

“informative and provocative…”

“…enough drama, music and history to fuel a miniseries in [this] thoroughly entertaining and comprehensive account of the Carter and Cash families and their enduring contributions to American music…”

“…illuminating…moving…There is no need to be a country music buff to enjoy this charming slice of Americana…”

“…soul-satisfying….energetic, joyous…Harrington’s richly textured doc is a treasure of folkloric Americana…”

“A SXSW Best of Fest Music Film – Beth Harrington digs deep into both the family’s legacy and the first-couple-of-country union of June Carter and Johnny Cash.”
