The Great Flood

The Great Flood is a documentary that tells the story of the Mississippi River Flood of 1927, the most destructive river flood in American history. Through a collection of silent images matched to a searing original soundtrack, the film creates a powerful portrait of this seminal moment in American history. The flood had a profound impact on the lives of those affected, causing a mass exodus of displaced sharecroppers and shaping the course of American music. Without using spoken dialogue, the film relies on the haunting sounds of Bill Frisell's guitar to evoke the emotions and struggles of those who lived through this traumatic event. The result is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of a pivotal moment in our nation's past.
