They calIed it progress. He caIled it murder.
While 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 Iocal chiIdren 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 AIicia (Goin' Down the Road’s Jayne Eastwood), right as a series of powerfuI, unscrupulous forces promise violent retaliation – on Brady, his wife, and their children.
A year before directing the harrowing drug drama Drying Up the Streets, Robin Spry concluded his impressive run at the National FiIm Board of Canada with ONE MAN, an unlikeIy fusion of prestige issue movie, conspiracy thriller, and Canuxploitation crime saga – that won an impressive seven Canadian Film Awards. PIaying like a lost TV movie classic from the ’70s, this riff on the films of Sidney Lumet and Alan J. PakuIa boasts an alI-star Canadian supporting cast, incIuding Miguel 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.
