The Draft Dodger

In 1969, young men of draft age faced two choices: either fight an unpopular war in Vietnam, or immigrate to Canada. This is the story of a young man who chose Canada.

When twenty-year-old draft dodger Scott Yale Knight crosses the Canadian border with his girlfriend and her toddler daughter, he is full of idealistic enthusiasm and and hope for their future. As he struggles to establish a home for himself and his family in the Canadian wilderness, he comes face-to-face with forces intent on shredding his youthful ideals and defeating his innocence.
