The East Lansing Film Society presents:
Frozen River
Ray Eddy (brilliantly portrayed by Melissa Leo), a mother of two living in a trailer, is lured into the world of smuggling when she meets a Mohawk woman, Lila, who lives on a reservation that straddles the US-Canadian border. After Ray’s husband takes off with the down payment for their new doublewide, Ray hooks up with Lila to make runs across the frozen St. Lawrence River carrying illegal immigrants in the trunk of Ray’s Dodge Spirit. Desperation knows no borders.
