The Very Worst Thing (Documentary Film) June 6, 2010

Come join us on Sunday, June 6th for an exclusive screening of "The Very Worst Thing" at the US 23 Country Music Highway Museum in Paintsville, KY.

"The Very Worst Thing" is a documentary film which revisits the 1958 Floyd County bus tragedy, which claimed 27 lives in eastern Kentucky on February 28, 1958. To this day, it remains the worst school bus accident in U.S. history.

The film features several interviews with those who were personally touched by the tragedy, including survivor Martha Burchett (Marsh) and Winston Dillon, who were on the bus during the accident. The film also features original pictures from the scene of the tragedy, most of which have been unseen by the general public.

It’s the story about families, as well as an entire community, finding strength during the most devastating of circumstances.

The documentary is from Remix Films, which consists of filmmakers Michael Crisp and Andrew Moore. It is slated to appear nationally at film festivals beginning in the spring of 2010. Visit www.theveryworstthing.com for more information about the film, or contact the US 23 Country Music Highway Museum for more information about the event.

There will be 3 screenings that day (2pm, 4:30pm and 7pm), and tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the theatre’s box office or online at www.theveryworstthing.com.
