Justin Townes Earle

아들 닉과 친구처럼 지내온 데이비드. 모든 것을 알고 있다고 생각했던 아들에게는 비밀이 있었다. 어린 나이에 마약에 중독된 닉은 재활원 입원과 탈출을 반복하며 죽음의 고비를 이어간다. 데이비드는 망가진 아들의 삶이 자신의 탓이라 자책하지만 눈물 흘리며 포기하는 대신, 서로의 가장 소중한 전부이자 모든 것인 닉에 대한 희망을 잃지 않는데… “그곳이 지옥이라도 난 널 포기하지 않아, 제발 다시 돌아와주렴, 나의 아름다운 소년아”

On the 38th anniversary of the seminal music documentary, Heartworn Highways - a film that explored and captured the nascent roots of the Outlaw Country movement in the mid-70s - this followup documentary celebrates the authenticity and expresses the feelings of the legendary original, via a community of contemporary "outlaws" living and creating music in Nashville, Tennessee.

In her documentary Country Roads Marieke Schroeder embarks on a search for the authentic America - a country at a turning-point. It is a search for the substantial: the morale, the pioneering spirit that holds the nation and its population together in crisis. We meet the young generation of American singer-songwriters who consider themselves as successors of Country-rebels such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Steve Earle. They despair of themselves and their homeland and at the same time are full of hope, full of faith. Country Music opens up our view of the soul of the American nation and lets us rediscover the land and the music.

A musical documentary film about the politically minded singer/songwriter Steve Earle.
