Angry River

A young girl named Sita lives with her grandparents on a small island in a mighty river. When her grandmother falls ill and her grandfather must take her to the mainland, Sita is left alone to tend to the hut. Soon, torrential monsoon rains cause the river to flood, threatening to wash away her home and everything she knows. She must climb a sacred banyan tree to survive the rising waters while holding onto hope for her family's return.
