Human Eagles tells the story of how the isolation created by constant travel in the world of the circus has stunted the evolution of human rights and values. It has permitted male members of the circus to maintain a micro culture where machismo is seen as a virtue and women are treated like they were back in 1955.

The Drawer Boy

Miles, a young stage actor from Toronto, comes to Huron County and arrives at the home of Angus and Morgan, two aging, unmarried farmers. Miles stays with them in order to collect stories about rural life and write a play about it. All three of their lives are irrevocably altered when art attempts to imitate life and the line between truth and fiction is crossed.
