CBC and Radio-Canada present a special documentary marking the centenary of one of the most tragic shipping disasters of our time. Among the more than 2200 passengers and crew were 130 men, women and children bound for Canada. They came from all walks of life, some called Canada home, others chose this country as a place of opportunity or refuge. In two hours of dramatic and emotional story-telling, we reveal for the first time the stories of the Canadians aboard through letters, diaries and first-hand accounts from surviving family members. Their stories are about hope and heartbreak about souls both lost and saved - the legacy of which still resonates today, from British Columbia to Newfoundland.
