As the polar ice caps melt, they release monsters that have been frozen in the eternal ice. Heralds of the apocalypse, they leave a trail of destruction in their wake and will soon descend upon the Bathtub, Louisiana’s untamed swamp, together with the long-predicted flood whose rising waters threaten to destroy Hushpuppy’s home. BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD is a rare gem nominated for four Oscars.
