Bahamian film 'RAIN" to appear on Showtime network- TODAY!!!!


Bahamian film 'RAIN' continues to jump from accolade to accolade, and is now well on the way to mainstream viewing as writer & director Maria Govan's award-winning feature will appear on the Showtime network at 8pm on the 18th and 19th of February and again on the 20th at 6:15pm.

One of the first indigenous feature films to come out of the Bahamas, RAIN, featuring Renel Brown as the title character and in her first film role, steers us away from the simplistic perception of a postcard paradise, instead taking us 'over the hill' into the challenged life of a young local girl determined to get to know the mother who abandoned her as a young child.

Shot in a style that combines gritty realism, a bold and unforgettable colour palette, soulful Bahamian music, and the use of local actors alongside seasoned pros, RAIN takes us on a journey into the heart of a child, into the pulse of a country and the spirit of its people.
