Johnny Cash: the Man, his World, his Music, became the classic exegesis of Cash’s music and personality. Throughout the years their relationship solidified, breeding a mutual respect. Finally Johnny and June Carter-Cash invited Elfstrom to film their life of Christ, Gospel Road, the ultimate expression of their religious beliefs. As an expression of their evaluation of Elfstrom, as well as having him produce and shoot their film, they invited him to play a part of Jesus.
