Air India documentary airs on CBC

A new documentary examining the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182 will air commercial-free this summer on CBC.
The bombing killed 329 people, including 29 from Mississauga.
Filmmaker Sturla Gunnarsson released his documentary, Air India 182, earlier this month at the Hot Docs festival in Toronto. It will be telecast on CBC Television on June 22 at 8 p.m.
The film is a first-person account of the Air India conspiracy and is based on court documents, de-classified Canadian Security Intelligence Service reports and wiretaps. It also includes emotional interviews with victims' families and high-ranking CSIS officials.
While the film revolves around the events of June 22, 1985, it also includes re-creations and other interviews to explain the political situation in Vancouver's Sikh community at the time.
Air India Flight 182 from Montreal to London exploded and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean about 240 kilometres off the coast of Ireland. Retired Justice John Major, who oversaw the public inquest into the bombing, described it as "mass murder" and the "most insidious episode of cowardice and inhumanity" in Canadian history.
