Washed Away
"The waters receded, but the struggle didn't. We support each other; we support our neighbours and let them know they are not forgotten."
— Mick Fanning, 3x World Surfing Champion
The Story
In February 2022, a 'monster' flood inundated the Northern Rivers with more than 14 metres of water, submerging thousands of homes overnight. On-the-ground first responders could only watch and wait, hamstrung by red tape and a lack of resources — leaving scores of people trapped in their homes, cut off from assistance.
Washed Away follows the locals who stepped in to help, risking everything to save a stranger, and reveals a community on its knees that triumphed over tragedy — celebrating the heroes and paying tribute to those who lost their lives.
This documentary not only celebrates the resilience of the human spirit but also calls for greater accountability and improved crisis management strategies in areas destined to flood again.
