"The Very Worst Thing" is the documentary film which revisits the infamous 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.
