Local film debut! A poetic retelling of the Millerite doomsday movement that swept across America in the 1840s. The film follows the town of Portland, Maine as its residents navigate waves of apocalyptic prophecy and disappointment. Mixing the genres of historic reenactment with fantastic parables, this queer gaze into the colonial past explores the powers and perils of collective refusal.

Cast: Daniel Noel, Derek Jackson, Effie Brown, Edy Pollins-Savage
