## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Crawl is a 2019 film that follows a woman caught in the path of a major hurricane in Florida. The narrative begins when the protagonist, Haley, chooses to ignore official evacuation orders to search for her father during the severe weather event. Upon arriving at her hometown, she discovers that her father is badly wounded. As the storm intensifies and floodwaters rise, the two become trapped together in the rising water. Their situation becomes increasingly dire as they realize that the environmental conditions are not the only threat they face. With very little time remaining to secure an escape from the storm, they must contend with additional dangers lurking within the floodwaters. The film focuses on their struggle for survival as they navigate the hazardous conditions created by the hurricane while trapped in the wreckage. The story centers on the tension between the immediate environmental disaster and the unknown perils that emerge as the water levels continue to climb.
