Film maker Jonathan Holiff had been estranged from his father Saul for many years when he committed suicide in 2005. Instead of a note, Saul left behind a suitcase filled with his personal archives dating back to the time he managed John Cash, the "man in black". Not only did Saul manage the tormented country singer from the early beginning up to the high point of his career, he also introduced him to June Carter, the love of his life. "My Father and The Man in Black" tells a universal story about a father-son relationship in the shadow of one of music history's biggest legends.
