The Great Flood

This documentary presents a unique narrative without spoken dialogue, instead relying on powerful visuals and a striking original soundtrack composed by Bill Frisell. The film captures the enormity of the flood, which affected 27,000 square miles and led to the displacement of countless sharecroppers.

The Great Flood also delves into the cultural impact of the Great Migration, highlighting how the Delta Blues evolved into new musical forms like Chicago Blues and Rock and Roll. Through a combination of silent imagery and evocative music, Morrison provides a compelling portrait of this historic disaster and its enduring legacy.
