DRIFT – One Time Screening, Palm Springs Premiere – Desert Film Society @ Camelot Theatre

A young Liberian refugee named Jacqueline (two-time Academy Award-nominee Cynthia Erivo) has barely escaped her war-torn country to a Greek island. She offers massages to tourists in exchange for one or two euros to battle her hunger, while her daily struggle for survival keeps the memories that haunt her at bay. She meets a rootless tour guide (Alia Shawkat) and the two become close as they each find hope in the other to forge ahead.  From the producers of “Call Me By Your Name” and “ Nomadland”.
