It was hard to watch this, remembering the events, the places and the people so well. I wish that more had been shown about the events leading up to that terrible night, but the complicity of government officials was at least pointed out. I found the whole thing too low key, but noted that several actors indeed got the strength and humour of the people. Dakota House did a pretty decent job of Dudley, while Gary Farmer was very good as Judas, and Jennifer Podemski was brilliant at recreating Gina's reactions to the shooting of her son on the bus. For anyone who thinks the bus was sensationalized, I saw it a few days after the events, and I was amazed those two kids didn't die. Like I said, it was too low key - this was a night of horror that continues to haunt many people, but we only really felt it in brief seconds when Dudley was arriving at the hospital and Gina and Judas were trying to get help for their son. At least you saw that these were real people, good people, who had a real injustice to fight and that the way things played out was a blot on the name of Ontario institutions and all Canadians.
