In 1968, Mick Meaney was buried six foot under the London soil in a simple wooden coffin. Hundreds came to see his burial, and toast Mick on his way. The thing was, Mick was not dead. He was competing in the world record competition for ‘Longest Time Spent Buried Alive’.

Incredibly, Mick was not the first. Our story begins in 1920s California and ends with a Dutch nun buried under a fairground in Skegness. Using never before seen archive, animation, and interviews with the people who personally knew Mick, this story is brought to life through the eyes of his loving daughter, who grapples with her father’s bizarre legacy.
