Wiki.

A Stone's Throw is a 2006 Canadian drama film written by Camelia Frieberg and Garfield Lindsay Miller, directed by Camelia Frieberg, and starring Kris Holden-Ried, Kathryn MacLellan, Aaron Webber, and Lisa Ray.

The film tells the story of Jack Walker, a photojournalist whose life is devoted to uncovering harm done to the environment by industrial corporations, and his struggles to balance his family, his love life, and his activism. The film's subject matter is deeply involved with environmentalism, the ways in which the manufacturing industry exploits nature in order to make a profit, and environmental terrorism. Frieberg stated in an interview that the film's title refers to the conveniences of the modern world, and the trade-offs involved with having everything just a stone's throw away.A Stone's Throw marks the directorial debut of Camelia Frieberg, previously known for her producing work on films such as Exotica, and The Sweet Hereafter. Frieberg stated that she was inspired to write a film based on the premise that "there's very little in society that allows you to understand that each of your actions has a consequence ... on the planet, on other people, and on other species." The film was shot in and around Frieberg's home in Halifax, Nova Scotia over the course of 15 days. At the 2006 Atlantic Film Festival it was awarded best Atlantic feature, and best sound design. The film received mixed reviews.
