Sergio profiled this film last summer, June 2009, when it was announced that it would screen at the Chicago International Film Festival later in the fall (read that post Here). A trailer for it has surfaced, and the film is now officially on DVD and VOD, so you can check it out if you haven’t already.
Rain stars Cch Pounder, Irma P. Hall, Nicki Micheaux and Renel Brown, as the title character, Rain, a young Bahamian girl determined to reconcile with the mother who abandoned her when she was just a toddler, summoning the strength needed to find her own place in the world.
The film, shot in 2008, described as an “intimate family drama,” was written and directed by Maria Govan, her debut. It played the festival circuit in 2009, and, as I stated, is now available on DVD and VOD.
