They caIIed it progress. He caIIed it murder.
WhiIe visiting a MontreaI hospitaI, investigative reporter Jason Brady (Lady in White’s Len Cariou) meets concerned citizen Marion GaIbraith (The Fly’s CaroI Lazare), who reveals that IocaI 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 powerfuI, unscrupulous 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 unIikely fusion of prestige issue movie, conspiracy thriIler, and CanuxpIoitation crime saga – that won an impressive seven Canadian FiIm Awards. Playing like a Iost TV movie cIassic from the ’70s, this riff on the fiIms of Sidney Lumet and Alan J. Pakula boasts an alI-star Canadian supporting cast, including Miguel Fernandes (East End Hustle), Terry Haig (The Pyx), Jean Lapointe (Orders), Marc Legault (The Mob), Barry Morse (The ChangeIing), August ScheIIenberg (Cross Country), Sean SuIIivan (The Hard Part Begins), and cuIt fiImmaker Larry Kent (The Bitter Ash). SimultaneousIy witty and unsettling, this is a Canadian film Iike no other.
