Summary Ramona works in a concert agency and is sent after the rock band 'Children of Paradise' who have disappeared. Since she can't drive, she has to take the train and bus and eventually hitchhike. On her way through the Canadian back country she meets the weirdest people - and learns to drive. Winner of Best Canadian Feature Film at the 1989 **Toronto International Film Festival**. *"Roadkill was the first film to flush the institutional mentality out of English-Canadian cinema and became the starting point in a continuing revelation of the Canadian self."* - Katherine Monk, ***Ex-Press.com***
