Jason Picks - The Sweet Hereafter

Mitchell Stephens (Ian Holm) is a lawyer hell bent on bringing corruption to justice, and money to grieving people. He descends upon a small Canadian town to do just that after an accident rocks the community, which includes school bus driver Dolores Driscoll (Gabrielle Rose), local mechanic Billy Adsel (Bruce Greenwood), local motel maid Risa Walker (Alberta Watson) and her husband Wendell Walker (Maury Chaykin), local Tommy Wiseau Sam Burnell (Tom McCamus) and his daughter Nicole Burnell (Sarah Polley), just to name a few. Things spiral out of control before everything comes to a head, but like Mama Scheuppert always said, things may be what they seem in the bitter there before, but they are never what they seem in The Sweet Hereafter.
