Iron Will

“It's not a question of age. Or strength. Or ability. It's a matter of will.”

In 1917, on a farm in the Dakotas, seventeen-year-old Will Stoneman (Mackenzie Astin) loses his father and is left to look after his mother and the land. The only way to keep it is a 522-mile dogsled race from Winnipeg to Saint Paul, days of racing through harsh weather and rough ground. Charles Haid sends Will off on the trail, a boy and his team of dogs against the long white distance.
