At the height of its fame in 1977, the popular southern rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, was struck with tragedy—a plane crash that killed the band’s founder and lead singer Ronnie Van Zant along with Steve Gaines, backup singer Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary, and co-pilot William Gray.

I’ll Never Forget You: The Last 72 Hours of Lynyrd Skynyrd chronicles the story of three survivors: security guard Gene Odom, lead backup singer Leslie Hawkins, and guitar tech Craig Reed. These survivors provide their firsthand accounts of the wild times of the band, the 72 hours leading to the crash, the harrowing crash itself, and its aftermath.

The documentary is based on Gene’s book, “I’ll Never Forget You”.
