Homer is a 1970 Canadian-American drama film directed by John Trent and starring Don Scardino, Tisa Farrow and Alex Nicol.[2] [3] [4]

The film was entered in competition at the 22nd Canadian Film Awards in 1970, although its inclusion was controversial; it was shot in Canada with a Canadian director, but financed by an American studio and told a story set in the United States, resulting in some debate about whether the film was sufficiently Canadian.[5]

Plot

A high school graduate, named Homer, experiences the pains of the generation gap and the Vietnam War in the late 1960s while growing up in Schomberg, Wisconsin.
