Campbell River Film Festival: Dark Horse
1969-12-31 | Tidemark Theatre :: 1220 Shoppers Row Campbell River, V9W 2C8
Set in a former mining village in Wales, DARK HORSE is the inspirational true story of a group of friends from a working men’s club who decide to take on the elite ‘sport of kings’ and breed themselves a racehorse. Raised on a slagheap allotment, their foal grows into an unlikely champion, beating the finest thoroughbreds in the land, before suffering a near fatal accident. Nursed back to health by the love of his owners – for whom he’s become a source of inspiration and hope – he makes a remarkable recovery, returning to the track for a heart-stopping comeback.

“With its sheer warmth and likability, this good-natured documentary won my heart – a real-life The Full Monty or Billy Elliot or Pride.” – Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

“A heartwarming true story that has been expertly crafted into an irresistible, emotion-charged documentary.” – Allan Hunter, Screen International
