Johnny Cash: Ring of Fire (1x2)

:

Having found success on the charts playing the music he wanted to play, Cash risked his entire career as the wild man inside was unleashed from his cage. Although still married, Cash was falling deeply in love with June Carter. And despite his increasingly destructive behavior, June Carter was falling for him. Those feelings of undeniable attraction came to the surface in a song she was working on with songwriter Merle Kilgore. “Ring of Fire” would become a huge hit for him but as Cash spiraled out of control, he connected in the knick of time with the woman who would not only write the biggest song of his career, she would one day prove to be his salvation.
