SYNOPSIS: In September of 1916, Sparks Circus set up tent in the small town of Erwin, Tennessee. The circle of events that followed culminated in a shocking and morbid circus act. Combining historical facts and legend, Elephants Graveyard explores the deep-seated American craving for entertainment, violence and revenge while asking the audience how far they will go for spectacle.
