This Time Last Winter

Unable to remember a violent incident, a young woman, Iona, returns to a place of magic and love to look for answers. Through interracial relationships and the healing potential of a talking circle, the film explores violence in young relationships and the moment of choice we face when the urge to be violent surfaces.

Directed by Ann Verrall, This Time Last Winter leans on a strong ensemble — Danna Henderson, Ian Brodland, Cheryl Jack — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2010.
