Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him, the only one who recognizes "his kind and his powerful heart." Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant, in a story that makes you laugh and cry.

The Rubber Side Down DVD will be available for sale. Proceeds go directly to the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of Canada. Media note: Interviews with RSD or CCFC representatives can be pre-arranged. ------------------------------------- "What began as an idea became a challenge. From a challenge, a commitment was forged. With a commitment, anything is possible. It is an epic Canadian adventure best summed up in three words: Coast. To. Coast. Spanning over three months in the summer of 2008, two amateur cyclists would attempt to pedal 8000 km from Victoria, BC to St.John's, Newfoundland, in an effort to shed light on Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis—tragic bowel diseases that are in dire need of a voice. What they discovered will astound you. Experience a film that depicts the vastness of our land, the spirit of our people, the hilarious mishaps of two young lads, and a struggle that unites us." ------------------------------------- |
