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.
