With David Strathairn and
Andrew W.Walker
Academy-Award nominated David Strathairn
portrays Daniel Dunkleman, a Jewish liberal
humanist and the court-appointed lawyer representing
Mike Downey (Andrew Walker) a Neo-
Nazi Skinhead on trial for the racially motivated
murder of an East Indian immigrant. Steel Toes
takes us into the intense and fiery relationship
that develops between these two men as they
explore their emotional and intellectual differences.
David Gow’s provocative exploration of the
insidious presence of racial and religious intolerance
in our society hits true notes throughout
the taut dramatic film. The city of Montréal is
the backdrop and the key setting is the St.
Vincent de Paul Penitentiary. Produced by
Francine Allaire and David Gow. Director of
Photography: Mark Adam.
