Directed by Robin Spry
Canada 1977
They called it progress. He called it murder. *** In this socially conscious drama, a TV journalist begins investigating a large factory that has been threatening the health of the children who live in the town's poorest, most polluted section. Because of his investigation, he and his family are threatened by company thugs. He gets no help from his TV station as they are loathe to tangle with big business. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Canadian International Pictures use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (24-bit) in the
original English language. One Man
has few aggressive scenes
and a score by Ben Low (The
Heatwave Lasted Four Days,
Keeping Track), sounding
unremarkable but dialogue
is audible the lossless transfer. Canadian International Pictures offer optional English
(SDH)
subtitles on their Region 'A'
Blu-ray.
The Canadian International Pictures
Blu-ray
Robin Spry's One Man
has a documentary feel at times and may be describe as a poor-man's
Erin Brockovich (Julie Roberts) or Todd Haynes' wonderful
Dark Waters with Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway and Tim Robbins -
although those films dealt with the litigation of environmental chemical
contamination. One Man
is focused on the, fictional, intimidating trials of simply reporting it by one
fearless television journalist. So, from that standpoint it could be
considered ahead of its time in terms of conspiracy, social issues -
from a Canadian film. The end credits list biochemical disasters
revealed around the globe. While One Man
won a slew of Canadian Film Awards - it has been largely forgotten -
dismissed to a vault and I am thankful that Canadian International Pictures
have brought it to Blu-ray |
