Hansel & Gretel in Portage Place

Abandoned outside a Jets game by their penniless Papa, Hansel and Gretel must navigate the mean streets and skywalks of downtown Winnipeg with only a roll of quarters and a bucket full of charm. When the Brothers Grimm put them to work in Portage Place Mall’s last remaining candy shop, it’s like a dream come true! Or is it?

Watch two sets of siblings battle it out for the future of downtown Winnipeg in this ridiculous romp.
