The Flood, an Indigenous revenge thriller from writer/director Victoria Wharfe McIntyre, is now available only on Stan. 

Wharfe McIntyre’s debut feature stars Alexis Lane, Shaka Cook (who is currently starring in the hit musical Hamilton), Dean Kyrwood, Dalara Williams and Aaron Jeffery, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the 2020 AACTA Awards for his work on the film.

Shot in NSW’s Kangaroo Valley just before the bush fires of early 2020 ravaged the landscape, The Flood takes up where Victoria’s impressive short film Miro left off, this time with a female heroine exacting revenge on an unjust colonial Australia.

Set during WWII, the film is the story of Jarah’s (Alexis Lane) coming-of-age in a brutal and lawless land – growing from a sweet child to a strong, independent and ferocious woman taking on Australia’s corrupt and bigoted system one bad guy at a time. In the best tradition of the gunslinging outlaw, when the enigmatic Jarah is pushed to the limit she explodes in a fury of retribution. But for a revenge western there is a surprising series of twists and turns that hint towards redemption and reconciliation.

Filmed in Victoria’s hometown (Kangaroo Valley), she describes the film as a “wonderful creative collaboration with the local Yuin Nation community, utilising our land and that of friends and neighbours.

“I’m thrilled that the The Flood is now premiering on Stan, the home of so much fantastic Australian drama, where it will be available to a wide audience.”
