Description

"The case that brought Mike Harris to court On September 4, 1995, several Stoney Point Natives entered Ipperwash Provincial Park, near Sarnia, Ontario, and began a peaceful protest aimed at reclaiming a traditional burial ground. Within 72 hours, one of those protestors, Anthony (Dudley) George, was dead, shot by an OPP officer wielding a submachine gun. Now, after seven years of relentless research, investigative journalist Peter Edwards examines the circumstances surrounding George's death and asks a number of tough questions - bringing the case right up to the present.
