The Carter Family: Will the Circle Be Unbroken?
Recalls "the first family of country music" in interviews with Carter relatives, music writers, and singers Gillian Welch, Joan Baez, Marty Stuart and Rodney Crowell. The tough early lives of A.P.

But A.P. and Sara's marriage couldn't survive the turmoil that followed.
