Drama: DAMNATION
Poet and writer Tony Tost has built a career in writing about frontiers, from his daysto his 2023 neo-western (100% on Rotten Tomatoes). In it’s the 1930s labour movement in America, which is used to tell the story of the brutal formation of a nation. The show is based on a campaign for a farm strike in the early 1930s in Iowa and features a line-up of characters with dark pasts, starting with preacher Seth Davenport (Killian Scott), who is rarking up the farmers against the corrupt bankers. He’s up against a hired strikebreaker (Logan Marshall-Green). Some reviewers criticised the lack of room for the women in the story.
