“The Caves of Sinking Valley”
This hour-long video is a study of a 33 square mile karst drainage basin in Pulaski County, focusing on the ecological and cultural importance of a complex cave system, and potential dangers of building the proposed I-66 highway through the drainage basin.
The documentary represents the volunteer efforts of dozens, including scientists, engineers, cavers and the local community, and details the results of 30 years of scientific study of the Sinking Valley cave system.
The video was featured in the 2005 National Speleological Society (NSS) annual convention and received an honorable mention in the video competition.
Acclaimed NSS judges/critics wrote:
“This video is representative of what we as cave videographers should be doing: documenting cave and karst areas so they can be protected.” “This video is an example of why we should encourage people to go pick up a camera…A Herculean effort…a comprehensive look at the Sinking Valley drainage.” “It was a fascinating journey.”
