Ryan, directed by Chris Landreth,
is based on the life of Canadian animator
Ryan Larkin. Thirty years ago, at
the National Film Board of
Canada, Ryan produced some of the
most influential animated films of
his time. Today, Ryan lives on welfare
and panhandles for spare change in
downtown Montreal. How could such
an artistic genius follow this path?
