Synopsis
Now, more than ever, we celebrate Canadian icons. But what if this icon was one of the FBI’s 10 most wanted people? Ryan Wedding, Olympic snowboarder turned drug lord, is one of the most infamous Canadians in recent memory. In El Jefe, he has the chance to change his life.
On the eve of his 2002 Olympic debut, a young Ryan is confronted by his future self, the cartel boss known as “El Jefe”. Can Jefe prevent Ryan from descending into darkness, or will the seductive appeal of infamy corrupt the young athlete and seal his fate? (fringetoronto.com)
