520    The Mississippi River Flood of 1927 was the most 
       destructive river flood in American history. In the spring
       of 1927, the river broke out of its earthen embankments in
       145 places and inundated 27,000 square miles. Part of its 
       legacy was the forced exodus of displaced sharecroppers, 
       who left plantation life and migrated to Northern cities, 
       adapting to an industrial society with its own set of 
       challenges.  Musically, the Great Migration fueled the 
       evolution of acoustic blues to electric blues bands that 
       thrived in cities like Memphis, Detroit and Chicago 
       becoming the wellspring for R&B and rock as well as 
       developing jazz styles. THE GREAT FLOOD is a collaboration
       between filmmaker and multimedia artist Bill Morrison and 
       guitarist and composer Bill Frisell inspired by the 1927 
       catastrophe. 
520    The story, told without dialogue, of the Mississippi River
       Flood of 1927, the most destructive in U.S. history and 
       the cause of a million people's displacement. Bill 
       Morrison, the acclaimed director of DESCASIA and Bill 
       Frisell, Grammy-winning composer and guitarist, have 
       teamed up to create a powerful new cinematic experience.
