Our next movie is FROZEN RIVER.
In a real-life smuggling zone on a Native American reservation between New York State and Quebec, the lure of fast money presents a daily challenge to single moms who would otherwise be making minimum wage.
Strapped for money and deserted by her husband, working class Ray (Melissa Leo) reluctantly teams up with Lila (Misty Upham), a widowed Mohawk Indian, to smuggle illegal immigrants across the frozen St. Lawrence River from Canada to the U.S. in the trunk of a Dodge Spirit. Both women swear each trip will be their last, but one final run across the river leads to a showdown with the law on all sides.
Rated 14A, Drama, USA, 97 min.
This film was shot in HD and while it looks Canadian it is actually an American indipendent film.
