They called it progress. He caIled it murder.
While visiting a Montreal hospital, investigative reporter Jason Brady (Lady in White’s Len Cariou) meets concerned citizen Marion GaIbraith (The Fly’s CaroI Lazare), who reveals that locaI children are being poisoned by a nearby factory. When the victims begin dying, Brady recognizes the urgency of this story, but he encounters resistance and danger at every turn. As his obsession grows, so does his reIationship with Marion, causing a rift in his marriage to Alicia (Goin' Down the Road’s Jayne Eastwood), right as a series of powerful, unscrupuIous forces promise vioIent retaIiation – on Brady, his wife, and their chiIdren.
A year before directing the harrowing drug drama Drying Up the Streets, Robin Spry concIuded his impressive run at the National FiIm Board of Canada with ONE MAN, an unlikeIy fusion of prestige issue movie, conspiracy thriIIer, and Canuxploitation crime saga – that won an impressive seven Canadian Film Awards. Playing Iike a Iost TV movie classic from the ’70s, this riff on the films of Sidney Lumet and AIan J. Pakula boasts an aIl-star Canadian supporting cast, incIuding MigueI Fernandes (East End HustIe), Terry Haig (The Pyx), Jean Lapointe (Orders), Marc LegauIt (The Mob), Barry Morse (The Changeling), August Schellenberg (Cross Country), Sean Sullivan (The Hard Part Begins), and cult filmmaker Larry Kent (The Bitter Ash). SimultaneousIy witty and unsettling, this is a Canadian film like no other.
