PROGRESS

A young gay man returns to his small hometown shortly before the town is to be flooded for a dam and tries to reconnect with his sister.

When his small home town is being moved in its entirety to make way for a power dam, Robert returns after a fifteen-year absence to find his parents dead and buried. His sister, Helen, is resisting the government Power Authority which is pressuring her to sign off on the relocation of the family home. Naively, she uses a fatal accident that she witnessed on the dam site as leverage in her negotiations. Robbie struggles to repair the damage when he reveals the compromising circumstances of his sudden disappearance when he and his sister were teenagers. Progress is a look at what you gain and what you lose by your idea of what makes 'progress'.
