Synopsis

Hardened immigration officer Wendy (Lena Headey) is offered a high-profile case interrogating an asylum seeker, Haile (Ivanno Jeremiah), who attacked a police officer upon being caught entering the UK illegally. As Haile recounts his story, Wendy does not see a dangerous criminal; she sees a human being, being forced to take extraordinary measures to save his life.

THE FLOOD is a poignant, measured piece of filmmaking, setting itself apart as one of the few feature narrative films that explores what's happening every day at our borders.
