Fatal Flood
In the spring of 1927, after weeks of incessant rains, the Mississippi River went on a rampage from Cairo, Illinois to New Orleans, inundating hundreds of towns, killing as many as a thousand people and leaving a million homeless. In Greenville, Mississippi, efforts to contain the river pitted the majority black population against an aristocratic plantation family, the Percys, and the Percys against themselves. A dramatic story of greed, power and race during one of America's greatest natural disasters.

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
