Heartwarming movie

What a heartwarming and wonderful movie for the whole family!! It is a story about a young boy who loves horses and hates the coal mine his father and brother work in. After his father is injured, the boy has no choice but to work in the scary and dangerous coal mine to provide for his family. He is surprised to see a horse he befriended in the mine, also. They work together, and through gloomy times the young boy stays positive. It makes me appreciate what I have!

What a treasure of a film i found in the $5.50 bin at Walmart the other day!

Set in the turn of the 19th century, on the island of Nova Scotia. It's about an Irish-Scottish coal mining family and the hardships they face. It's very realistic in it's portrayal of home life of that period...and a nice performance by the young lady playing the oldest daughter (who just happens to look a lot like Megan Follows).
It's not really a typical horse film, and definately not for the tiny tots, but it is an enjoyable and worthwhile family film for anyone above the age of 8. There are some mature and scary themes, including death of family members (One body being displayed on the kitchen table). So you'll want to use discretion.
Overall it's not a great film, but it is very well made and well acted. Young boys of ten an older will surely benefit from watching it. As there are some good messages to learn from the story.
**** 4 Stars! Highly recommended.
