THE DRIVER Adapted from a novel by Garet Garrett, The Driver tells the story of a man who takes the reins of a failing railway and turns it into a success against all odds.

"SCATTERED LIKE DUST AND LEAVES ..." The tragic tale of one of the earliest cases of ethnic cleansing in the New World. The Acadians, the perfect example of Europeans living in harmony with the native tribes, refused to take arms for either side in the battles between France and England and were brutally punished for their peace. Over 14,000 Acadians lost their homes and faced deportation. The title is taken from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic 1847 poem Evangeline, a Tale of Acadie. |
