Synopsis by Maggie Sadler

Prior to rising through Canada's political ranks to the office of Prime Minister, a young and frenetic William Lyon Mackenzie King (Dan Beirne) considers his future after his unusual mother (Louis Negin) offers him a prophecy. As Canada faces an uncertain future and armed with his mother's words, King embarks on an unconventional quest in politics, striving to dismantle more outdated attitudes that he believes hinder the progress of his nation. Written and directed by Matthew Rankin. Co-starring Catherine St-Laurent and Brent Skagford.
