Hell or Tide Water

Length 90 minutes

Location: Mill Building Patio

Director: Scott C. Newman

Take a journey into Alberta’s oil obsession with this 100% Canadian Made Action film shot right here in Hamilton. The Story revolves around a pipeline to tidewater and is set in a future where climate change is creating super storms that are inhibiting oil tanker transportation on the west coast. The action revolves around two oil tanker submarines that have been created to avoid the worst effects of climate change. Only twist is that there are an international threat to the success of the operation. Check this film out for underwater submarine battles, colourful characters, and an indigenous twist.

The film will be set on a loop with multiple screenings throughout the evening.
