Remember The Movie "PIT PONY"

Today (December 14th 2017), marks 20 years since the release of Cape Breton Made movie "The Pit Pony" which turned into a CBC television series! Many people don't know this, but the late John Dunsworth was part of casting for the movie, and this is where he discovered Ellen Page!

Storyline

Glace Bay, Nova Scotia Canada, 1901. Willie MacLean is a 10-year-old boy with a love for horses and liking to school to cape the difficult times his family has. Willie's stern, but benevolent father is a coal miner in a local mine along with his older brother John. But when Willie's father is injured and John is killed in an accident at the mine, Willie is forced to step into his brother's shoes to support his older sister Nelle, and two younger sisters until their father recovers. Willie soon finds work at the mine lonely (aka: the pit) and unfriendly in which he forms a bond with a pit pony horse in order to make it though each day!
