In 1968, Mick Meaney was buried alive in a coffin beneath London, not in death, but in pursuit of a world record. Told through the eyes of his daughter, this darkly comic and deeply human documentary unearths the strange history of buried-alive stunts, revealing a forgotten subculture of endurance, spectacle, and legacy.
