Shattered City, an epic three-hour production, dramatizes a compelling piece of Canadian history. It is the story of how a tragic incident at the height of the First World War became a living metaphor for the worldwide conflict, and how Halifax arose from the ashes after severe destruction and devastation. In the early hours of December 6, 1917, the Mont-Blanc, a French-owned freighter loaded to the gunnels with thousands of tons of TNT, collided with a Belgian relief ship and exploded in the Halifax Harbour. The explosion was so vast that it killed more than 2000 people, injured 9000 more and completely flattened two square kilometers of northern Halifax.
Out of the carnage came stories of small sacrifices and great heroism – stories that are at the heart of Shattered City. Vincent Walsh, Shauna MacDonald, and Academy Award nominees Graham Greene and Pete Postlethwaite lead the stellar cast.
