Mile Zero is a Canadian drama film, directed by Andrew Currie and released in 2001.[1] The film stars Michael Riley as Derek Ridley, a divorced father who abducts his son Will (Connor Widdows) after his ex-wife Allison (Sabrina Grdevich) tries to limit his contact.[2] Currie's intention for the film was to present a nuanced understanding of the emotional vulnerability that might lead a father to act in this manner, neither demonizing him as a mainstream Hollywood film would likely have done nor portraying him as a hero; it was inspired in part by Currie's own emotions about having to spend a year away from his son while studying at the Canadian Film Centre.[1]
