The Lesser Blessed
2012 · 1h 26m · Drama · Canada · Rated R (US)
You can't have a future until you stand up to your past.
Larry, a 16-year-old Tlicho Indian, lives in the small northern town of Fort Simmer. He has a crush on his classmate, Juliet Hope. Larry's past holds a variety of terrors—his father is abusive and he once had an accident that nearly killed him. When Johnny Beck , a young Métis from Hay River, moves to town, things heat up, for better or worse.
