The Deliverance story follows four families that have been affected by the local ritual of Initiation. We explore the conflicts associated with this practice of brutal beating and sexual assault. The Deliverance is a French feature film shot entirely in the country of TChad, Africa. The film exposes a regional practice if Initiation that involves civil atrocities on the young men and women of the region. We produced this film for a Chadian screenwriter with funds raised mainly in the US. The project featured forty five local non-professional actors. We lived in the area of Mondou, Chad for the weeks we were in production. The first cut of the film was completed in the country and the final cut was produced in the US.
