 |
From the formation of the team, to training
camp, to the early struggles, to the exhibition contests in Sweden, to
the behind-the-scenes intrigue in Moscow, to Paul Henderson's winning goal
- the 1972 Canada-Russia 8-game Summit Series was the ultimate cold-war
sporting drama! Now, for the first time, the entire story is told in this
brilliant four-hour docudrama, originally aired to critical acclaim and
ratings success on CBC Television in Canada, April 9-10, 2006.
Shot in a fluid documentary style that captures the era and the drama to perfection, CANADA RUSSIA '72 lets you re-live the ups and downs, and the ultimate moment of determination and pride, from the behind-the-scenes vantage point you've never seen before.
