Flood
I found myself gripped by it.
-- Mark Kermode, BBC
The Flood
Hardened immigration officer Wendy (Lena Headey) is offered a high-profile case, judged on her ability to quickly and clinically reject applicants. Through her interrogation, she must uncover whether Haile (Ivanno Jeremiah) has a sinister reason for seeking asylum.
The Flood sees Lena Headey alongside Game of Thrones co-star Iain Glen take on one of the most explosive topics in modern politics. See why critics are gripped by it and are calling it “soul scraping,” a "must see" with a "clever twist in the end."
After spending time volunteering in the Calais Jungle the filmmakers wanted to be truthful to the refugee experience, avoiding any cinematic bells and whistles and leaving The Flood intentionally understated and unembellished. They researched heavily, basing the script on actual stories and interviews with ex-Home Office officials. The result is one of the few feature films that explores what’s happening every day at our borders.
