Synopsis

In 2018, Kerala, a state in southern India, received rainfall unseen in the last hundred years. The rains killed more than 400 people and destroyed billion dollars worth of property. But this was no freak show. In 2019 again, torrential rains lashed the state, causing numerous landslides and deaths.

The Deluge is a dramatic tale of a bunch of survivors and rescuers against the backdrop of how one one India’s most beautiful regions is now facing regular natural disasters as a result of ignoring environmental concerns. It showcases how local resilience can battle global warming.
