“A short-form documentary about the famously antislavery family patriarch.”
THE NEW YORK TIMES
A Documentary By
MATTHEW GREELEY
OUT OF THE DEPTHS is a memento mori; a documentary that follows journalist Horace Greeley's oxygen-starved birth, and meteoric rise to the forefront of American journalism before personal tragedy and political ambition collide during his doomed presidential run — culminating in a descent into madness and death in a mental asylum. Directed by his great-great-great-grandson, Matthew Greeley, the film doubles as an investigation into the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death.
