CEN2-14. Drive Back Home

Canada, Feature Film, 2024, 100 min

Starring three-time Emmy winner, Tony winner, and Golden Globe nominee Alan Cumming

Inspired by a true story. In the wake of his father’s death, a bigoted plumber with small-town views leaves his Eastern Canadian village and drives 1,000 miles to bail his estranged, gay brother out of a Toronto police station and bring him home. Perley (Alan Cumming) sees his brother Weldon (Charlie Creed-Miles) as an ignorant hillbilly and Weldon sees Perley as a perverted deviant. As they head east from Toronto, Perley’s facade falls apart and Weldon realizes that his assumptions about his brother are more complicated than he once thought. Forced together, the brothers face their differences on a sometimes difficult, sometimes funny — but ultimately unforgettable — journey home.
