Lynyrd Skynyrd Street Survivors, The True Story of the Plane Crash, Interview with Director Jared Cohn

When a plane crash in 1977 ended the career of the original Lynyrd Skynyrd, the world lost one of the greatest American rock bands. Skynyrd drummer, Artimus Pyle survived the crash, crawling from the wreckage and saving lives. For the first time, Artimus’ story has been brought to the screen in a dramatic recreation that focuses on the band's last few days. To get this film produced, the filmmakers had to navigate a dangerous swamp of lawsuits and litigation. Writer and Director Jared Cohn discusses the courtroom dramas and the stories behind the making of the movie – the highlight being one of the scariest crash sequences ever shot.
