You Don't Know the Real Johnny Cash

On the man who carried Cash

In his own polite, Canadian way, Holiff ended our conversation with a hard-won moral.

"There was nothing special about my childhood," he says. "I got to make this movie mostly because there's a star attached. But I tell everyone, if you haven't reconciled with that parent of yours, do it now. Because you won't find a storage locker with 60 hours of audio diaries like I did. If I hadn't found that locker, I'd probably be dead by now. After Saul killed himself and didn't leave a note, I expected that any day a letter would arrive saying he loved me. I never got Saul's love when he was alive. And I sure as hell wasn't going to get it now that he was dead. After Saul's suicide, I was planning my own exit. This movie saved my life."
