Prohibition was extremely unpopular with many Americans and Canadians, but for dozens of coastal communities in Atlantic Canada hard hit by a downturn in the fisheries and still recovering from World War I, it was seen as a golden business opportunity. Rum Running depicts the larger than life characters and the high stakes role that Nova Scotia and the French Islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon played during the era. The film explores the social, economic, and cultural impact that this illegal activity had on dozens of coastal communities and reveals how the impact of rum running still affects us today.
