N2  - In 1845, the earliest days of the Oregon Trail, a wagon train of three families hires mountain man Stephen Meek (Bruce Greenwood) to guide them over the Cascade Mountains. Claiming to know a shortcut, Meek leads the group on an unmarked path across the high plain desert. Over the coming days, lost in the heat, the settlers face hunger, thirst and a lack of faith in each person's instincts for survival. Four-time Oscar nominee, Michelle Williams leads a strong cast in this dramatic western. Winner of the Producer's Award at the **Film Independent Spirit Awards**. Nominated for Best Feature at the **Gotham Awards**. Winner of the SIGNIS Award and nominated for the Golden Lion at the **Venice Film Festival**. *"A mesmerizing cinematic journey that is often as arduous and spare as the lives of its hard-bitten protagonists." - Ann Hornaday, **Washington Post***
