Anti-bullying BC Film “If I Had Wings” to be made available in all BC Schools
IF I HAD WINGS
Sixteen year old Alex Taylor dreams of flying. He also dreams of running for his high school's cross-country track team. Both dreams seem equally out of his reach, as Alex has been blind since the age of two. Alex, determined to run, practices with his father, Probation Officer Geoff Taylor. Geoff, with additional girth and age working against him, finds that he no longer can keep up with his son, a very gifted runner. He must find a running partner at the school fast enough to help Alex make the cross-country team.
MLA Jane Thornthwaite states, "If I Had Wings is an excellent made-in-BC film, directed, produced and starring local actors. It is a film about antibullying, positive role models for First Nations and rising above adversity. This is a great film for youth – both in and out of school – and really for all ages."
