I feel aggrieved on her behalf...This is a hard sell in Nashville but I feel like it's the most recognisable country song there is in the world. I think because she was a woman, people didn't want to let her have it.
Vaurio's film contains previously unseen archival material and interviews with family and friends as well as Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Kacey Musgraves and Reese Witherspoon (who won an Oscar for her role as Carter Cash in the 2005 film Walk the Line).
Speaking from Los Angeles, Vaurio says: She came from Poor Valley at the base of Clinch Mountain, Maces Spring, and that place was always a very spiritual home for her. She spent so much of her life on the road, but having that place as home and those songs that she sang, and those Carter family songs, are very much rooted in that place.
