Floyd Collins

In January of 1925, Kentucky explorer Floyd Collins was searching for an underground cave system spectacular enough to become a tourist destination and make his family rich. Instead, he became trapped in a narrow crawlway 55 feet below ground. His family’s rescue attempts quickly created the nation’s first media circus as reporters flocked to the scene, and rescue began to take a backseat to profit. This true story features a musical style drawn from authentic bluegrass, folk, and Americana.
