Rain -- the Bahamian film directed by Maria Govan -- is now available in Grand Bahama on DVD!
 Rain premiered on Grand Bahama on October 29, 2009 at Regency Theatre to an enthusiastic crowd and is now available for the general public to own and enjoy in the privacy of their own homes.
Rain is the award-winning Bahamian film that follows the challenged life of a young local girl determined to get to know the mother who abandoned her as a young child . 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.
Writer and director Govan, with this, her third motion picture, moves into the realm of narrative film, addressing the everyday social and personal conflicts that are woven into the lives of many Bahamians.
Rain has been recognised for its outstanding quality at film festivals including the Bahamas International Film Festival (Audience Award 2008), the Toronto Film Festival and the Palm Springs International Film Festival. The DVD is available for sale at Keen i Media on Queen's Highway. (For detailed directions, click HERE.) Each disc is just $20 (please note only cash can be accepted and exact change is appreciated!).
