Synopsis

Written, directed and produced by and starring Jonathan Holiff, the son of the late Saul Holiff, (the renowned former manager of Johnny Cash during the 1960s and 1970s), My Father and the Man in Black is a Johnny Cash documentary, which focuses on Saul’s perspective. Rooting through diaries, audio tapes and archival film footage, Jonathan Holiff tries to investigate and understand the father that he never really got to know, analysing how Cash always came first in Saul’s life and how the pressure of his intense job led him to problems with drink and drugs and held him back from being the loving family man that Jonathan and his brother so wanted him to be.
