Gabriel Byrne, Joanne Whalley and talented newcomer Lindze Letherman star in this inspiring tale about a girl, her family and the horse that brings them together again.

"Virginia’s Run," shot in beautiful Nova Scotia, combines poignant drama and "thrilling" (Toronto Sun) horse-racing action in a coming-of-age adventure for the whole family.

When 13-year-old Virginia’s (Letherman) mother dies in a riding accident, her father (Byrne) sells the horse and vows never to let his two daughters ride.

Defying him, Virginia nurses the horse’s new colt, Stormy, and secretly trains with him at night. But when Stormy is sold, Virginia’s sister and a sympathetic trainer (Whalley) must help convince her father that a girl needs free rein to grow.
