Dir. James Marsh US/GB 1999
Inspired by the cult book of photographs compiled by Michael Lesy,
first published in 1973, Wisconsin Death Trip tells the shocking story of the disasters that
befell Black Falls River, Wisconsin in the 1890's. Interspersing original photographs
and newspaper accounts with contemporary dramatizations shot in beautiful black & white,
this film documents the unimaginable and often funny story of the everyday events of murder
and madness that happened in this small town. (76m)
