Bitter Tears
Johnny Cash's classic Bitter Tears album features ten songs inspired by the struggles of Native Americans whose heritage was rapidly disappearing. His words and music remain today an evocative and powerful statement about our country's past as well as a plea for its future. The MPC's Bitter Tears is an American cultural celebration featuring exclusive footage of Cash performing original songs from the album and meeting and traveling with Native Americans as well as new footage inspired by the lyrics and featuring Native American performers at such sacred sites as Wounded Knee, Custer's Battlefield, the Badlands of South Dakota, the Navaho Country of Canyon de Chelly, and the Iroquois Nation along the Allegheny.
