Production begins on Air India documentary

Toronto: A documentary about the Air India tragedy is set to begin filming next month.
Flight 182 will be directed by Vancouver-raised Sturla Gunnarsson and produced by David York. The pair announced yesterday that they have signed a contract with CBC-TV, which is commissioning the piece.
The Air India disaster took place 22 years ago this Saturday. Various memorials are planned to honour the 329 victims of the terrorist bombing off the coast of Ireland on June 23, 1985.
"This is a critical film for our country," Gunnarsson, who also directed the epic film Beowulf & Grendel, said in a release.
"It was Canada's first devastating experience with international terrorism and we still haven't really come to terms with it.
The two-hour doc will include interviews with those directly involved in the events, re-enactments and archival footage, an examination of intelligence and profiles of the victims.
