Competition: Win an iTunes voucher for ‘The Flood’
To celebrate the release of The Flood – available on Digital HD from 1st November – we’re giving away an iTunes voucher.
A remarkable debut from writer/director Victoria Wharfe McIntyre, The Flood examines the appalling plight of Indigenous Australians after World War Two, and the rip-roaring revenge taken against a cruel enemy all too close to home. Heartbreaking cruelty is superseded by gut-wrenching violence, in this shockingly relevant story of injustice and the need for compassion. With most of the shooting locations destroyed in the January 2020 megafire, The Flood is now a visual archive of an ancient Australian rainforest world that no longer exists.

Directed with real verve and unflinching style by McIntyre, nimbly switching between timeframes, The Flood features some strikingly powerful set pieces (including an almost unbearable campsite massacre, and some thrilling shoot-outs), and a mesmerising lead performance from Alexis Lane (remarkable assured in her feature debut) as Jarah, a young woman who pushes back against indignities and outrages in a bloody fashion. When someone tells her “bad things are coming”, they don’t realise those bad things are her! This is emancipation garnered at the end of a rifle.

a) Bedevilled
