The Film

A delightful true story about two Massachusetts boys – 9 and 11 – who set off on an improbable journey with their family pet, a Shetland pony named King.

Summer, 1967. Tony and Jeff Whittemore are desperate to visit Expo ’67 in Montreal – the largest World’s Fair ever. But their parents can’t take them. Then their mom comes up with the solution: hitch King to a pony cart and drive 350 miles to Expo ’67 – on their own – at 5 m.p.h.!

For Tony and Jeff, it becomes the adventure of a lifetime.
