A filmmaker is starting a project about evolution and geologic time, but disagreements with her father — a young-earth creationist who rejects the theory of evolution — keep getting in the way. She heads home, where he is completing his last year of teaching before moving with the family across the country. Filming him in the classroom, where he is loved and respected, she begins to see him more fully, even as tensions at home reach a boiling point. With clarity and wry humor, Flood captures the complexity of a family that is both tightly knit and deeply divided.
When and where to see Flood in a movie theater near you! ALSO, starting July 13, 2026, on your TV or laptop with homemade popcorn and your cat, dog, turtle, additional family members, and friends gathered round.
