Check it out below the trailer and synopsis.
The Power Synopsis:
London, 1974. As Britain prepares for electrical blackouts to sweep across the country, trainee nurse Val (Rose Williams) arrives for her first day at the crumbling East London Royal Infirmary. Most of the patients and staff evacuated to another hospital. Val must work the night shift, alone in the dark, near-empty building. Within these walls lies a deadly secret, forcing Val to face both her own traumatic past and deepest fears in order to confront the malevolent force that’s intent on destroying everything around her.
Rose Williams, Shakira Rahman, Charlie Carrick, Diveen Henry, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Nuala McGowan, Emma Rigby, and Theo Barklem-Biggs star. Matthew James Wilkinson (Stigma Films) and Rob Watson (Air Street Films) produced.
Creative England supported the development. Also, the BFI NETWORK, awarding funds from the National Lottery. And received production finance from the BFI (awarding funds from the National Lottery) and Head Gear.
Faith said in a statement, “I was writing during the explosion of resistance to silence and passivity that came with the Me Too movement. And it felt like the landscape was changing to some extent. The idea that an angry spirit could neatly be put to rest, made quiet at the end of a story, felt plain wrong.”
