The Death of Floyd Collins Documentary Released on DVD

The new documentary about the death of Floyd Collins which premiered in theatres earlier this year is now available on DVD.

Directed by Michael Crisp, the documentary tells the tragic tale of caver Floyd Collins who made national headlines in 1925 when he became trapped while exploring Kentucky’s Sand Cave.

The two-week long rescue attempt and ensuing media circus catapulted him to a national celebrity. Unfortunately he was not able to enjoy his new-found status.

Not the first take on the tragedy—Floyd Collins has been the subject of books, song and even a musical—this film includes interviews, photographs, rare film footage of the rescue and re-enactments featuring local actors.

The single disc DVD retails for $14.50 and is available online at Amazon.
