Wisconsin Death Trip 1999 N/R, 76 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: James Marsh
Cast: Ian Holm, Jo Vukelich, Marilyn White, Jeff Golden, Marcus Monroe, John Schneider, John Baltes, Raelean McMillion, Krista Grambow, Clay Anton
Set during the late 1800s in Black River Falls, Wisconsin, this film chronicles human tragedies of the day–including murder, suicide, insanity, disease, and starvation–as Ian Holm reads from 1890's news articles, which are brought to life through black-and-white photography. Extremely violent and, perhaps, unfair to present-day residents of Black River Falls.
