Little Lorraine is a real place. Sixty people. A mine that exploded. A fishery that dried up. And then a man called Uncle Huey came back to town with a lobster boat and an offer of work for anyone who needed it. What happened next is a matter of public record. Richard says don't look it up until after you watch the movie.
What does it feel like to be a village with nothing left and then suddenly have everything again and not ask too many questions about where it is coming from? That is the tension Little Lorraine lives inside and it does not let go. The cocaine was coming in through lobster boats and going out through caskets at the local funeral homes. The only sure fire business on the coast is the funeral home. Somebody had already figured that out.
Stephen McHattie plays Uncle Huey and Richard says he should be on a Canadian stamp. The Glen Breton whiskey Bloody Caesar pairs with the whole thing beautifully. It is National Canadian Film Week. Go see it.
