Death or Canada Release date not available
Death or Canada is a Gemini- and IFTA-nominated, two-part Canadian–Irish docudrama which was broadcast in Ireland on RTÉ One in November/December 2008, in the UK on The History Channel UK in January and February 2009 and in Canada on History Television on March 16, 2009. The film also had a limited theatrical release in Canada, and enjoyed a gala screening on March 3, 2009 to kick-off the celebrations for Toronto's 175 birthday. Death or Canada, as narrated by Brian Dennehy, follows the Protestant Willis family from the west of Ireland as they flee to Canada in the Spring of 1847 at the height of An Gorta Mór or the Great Hunger. The family ultimately arrives in the young city of Toronto, which is overrun by a deluge of 40 000 Irish famine refugees. This dramatic story is interspersed with commentary from historians and other experts. Death or Canada is a Canada-Ireland Treaty Co-Production, produced by Canada's Ballinran Productions, whose other credits include Manic Organic, and Hangman's Graveyard and by Ireland's Tile Films', the company behind the documentaries Cromwell in Ireland and The Ghosts of Duffy's Cut. The cinematography by Colm Whelan was nominated for 2009 Gemini Award in the category Best Photography in a Documentary Series/Programme. It is directed by IFTA Award-winning director Ruán Magan.
