“The Very Worst Thing” Documentary Film June 25, 2010

Come join us on Friday, June 25th the return of the documentary film "The Very Worst Thing" at the Mountain Arts Center in Prestonsburg, 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. The film features new footage that was previously unseen during its Prestonsburg premiere.

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

Tickets for the 7:30pm screening are $8 and may be purchased at the Mountain Arts Center either in person, online (www.macarts.com) or by calling their box office at 606-889-9125. A record-setting crowd of 1,040 were in attendance at the film’s February 2010 premiere at the Mountain Arts Center, so purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended.
