Bringing alive the life and times of a true hockey legend, and a true Canadian icon! This item gives you the full two-part CBC television docudrama series, "The Don Cherry Story", which aired to rave reviews and massive nationwide audiences in 2010 and 2012. Nominated for six Gemini awards, the six-hour epic story follows a minor league defenseman's journey from obscurity to national fame as the opinionated commentator on Hockey Night In Canada, and undoubtedly one of the most recognized faces in the country. Growing up, Don Cherry (played by Gemini-nominated Jared Keeso) aspired to become a professional hockey player. After a stellar junior career, he is poised to make the big leagues but a shoulder injury banishes him to the minors. Don spends the next sixteen seasons moving his family around North America as he plays for ten different teams and encounters some of hockey's most colourful characters. Don soon realizes his hockey destiny is not as a player, but as a coach. After six years behind the Boston Bruins bench, Don's brash style with the media and outrageous wardrobe make him a natural for television. With a little help from fate, Don finds his way on to CBC Television's beloved Hockey Night in Canada, becoming the king of Saturday night hockey. With amazing vintage hockey recreations, outstandingly-detailed flashback sequences, hilarious writing, legendary anecdotes, and the behind-the-scenes drama that made it all happen, this amazing work of film will give you the ultimate appreciation of Don, the sport of hockey, and its incredible hold on Canadian culture. Outstanding performances, a Canadian soundtrack, and at times humorous and touching, overall this movie is a beauty, eh! Note: this set contains four DVDs in total, including two behind-the-scenes bonus features with interviews including director Andrew Wreggitt, producer Tim Cherry, and the subject himself, Don Cherry! The 2-disc set includes Bonus interviews with Don Cherry and exec producer/screenwriter Tim Cherry.
