The screen adaption of Guy Vanderhaeghe's award winning novel, The Englishman's boy, is an expressive and unforgettable tale of deceit, manipulation, guilt and voilence set against the dual backdrops of an unforgiving 1873 North American frontier and the allure of 1920's Hollywood. This haunting film recalls a tragic journey that culminates in one of the most brutal historical events in Canadian history-- the Cypress Hills Massacre.--Container.
