Frozen River |
The story in Frozen River takes place in the days before Christmas near a little-known border crossing on a Mohawk reservation between New York State and Quebec. Here, the lure of fast money from smuggling presents a daily challenge to single moms who would otherwise be earning minimum wage. Two women - one white, one Mohawk, both single mothers faced with desperate circumstances - are drawn into the world of border smuggling across the frozen water of the St. Lawrence River. Exceptionally well-cast and well-acted.
