Dam (2021)
DAM GOOD
Everything is divide until it all comes together in this epic psychological thriller about a prodigal daughter who returns back home for her father's funeral but then she soon finds herself neck deep in family secrets and the dark history that involves the rest of the town's folks.
DAM is truly a thought-provoking series and one that was needed but the industry for it's bold approach, both in the filming style and stoeyline and as I was watching I found myself taunted by the genuis of the writer, when analysing the hidden massage that is carefully wrapped around this beautiful world and the characters portrayed. I have to say I appreciate the subtle undertones imbued in the horrific darkness which tries to lead the viewer to a brighter understanding in terms of who we can be as people when we choose to work through our indifferences to find a common ground, our fears sometimes make us overlook our humanity but like it or not we inherit the same world and we have inherited the sins of our fathers and as we try to figure our own path we must not forget that no matter what, we are not the embodiment of their choices and should not be forced to atone for their sins but we can amend the wrongs where we can to make things right and that is what Yola does. She decides to do the right thing by choosing not to ignore the wrongs and in a way I think that is what the writer is trying to say to us the viewrs.
We have to choose not to ignore the problems and tackle them or even if we choose to continue along the path of our forefathers letvus not let thrive from the pain we cause on others because when the DAM overflows , we will still need each other to make sure we do not get washed away and by washing away, I am talking about being brainwashed to hate each other and that should stop.
That is my take from this beautiful story. I hope I did not politicize it too much. I have truly enjoy DAM.
