After the Flood

Genre: Documentary

Synopsis:

In the wake of historic climate disasters Kentuckians of color and their allies come together to support impacted community members, and cultivate the joy and diversity in Appalachian culture to inspire and facilitate change. The land, as well as the history of residents of color, are eroding away. Our goal is to not only preserve, but to give a platform for impacted residents to tell their stories, and in turn inspire viewers to elicit government action to heal and revitalize the land and community.

Director Bio:
Ali Gautier is a proud Black Queer southern activist, comedian, and performing artist originally from Danville, KY. Growing up she never saw anyone that looked, or identified, like her in films or on stage. This experience led her into pursuing those arts, to tell the stories not being told.

After the Flood is her first film; the experience has been lifechanging.
