    Drought is an indie gem, with a compelling story and cast
    This has all of the right ingredients for a coming of age drama and reminded me why I love independent film so much, namely because it's synonymous with quiet, human moments and authentic acting performances. Achingly real family tension and pain (which is wonderfully scripted and directed) is softened by genuine moments of humor and warmth from an electric cast. Pair all of that with a memorable, plucky score and beautiful cinematography and you've got "Drought."
