The morbid thought that some of their daughters’ friends and classmates might end up victims to increasing gun violence led husband-and-wife filmmakers David Sudz Sutherland and Jennifer Holness to create the dramatic new CBC-TV miniseries Guns.
TV and film director Sutherland (Love, Sex and Eating the Bones, Toronto Stories) says that gun violence has escalated to become a problem for Canadians everywhere, not simply relegated to “bad” areas.
At a recent event with the Toronto couple’s five-year-old daughter, Sutherland recalled thinking “Which one of these five-year-olds will end up lying in an alley alone?” he told CBC Radio’s Metro Morning on Thursday.
The miniseries, which features such Canadian stars as Colm Feore, Shawn Doyle and Elisha Cuthbert, attempts to explore the issue of illegal gun trafficking and the greater impact it has on entire communities and cities.
“It looks at the problem from different levels,” Holness said, “the people who are actually bringing in the guns as well as the people who are impacted — just everyday people and people on the street.”
Guns begins on CBC Television Sunday at 8 p.m., with the second part to follow Monday at 8 p.m.

GUNS is the story behind the headlines of Canada’s mounting gun problem and the lives touched by violence. The two-part, four-hour miniseries featuring an all-star cast telecasts on CBC Television on Labour Day weekend, Sunday, Sept. 6 and Monday, Sept. 7, at 8 p.m.
A gritty and explosive drama, the miniseries tells the story of four families caught up in illegal gun trafficking and the ripple effect this has on their lives. From the streets of Toronto to Dayton, Ohio, and all the way to the front lines of Uganda, GUNS examines the incendiary issues of illegal arms in Canada, the U.S. and around the world. This is the story of the people who traffic guns, the elite police force charged with catching them, and the lives caught in the crossfire.
GUNS follows a pair of Toronto detectives leading an investigation centering on a 23-year-old gun trafficker, Bobby Duguid (Gregory Smith: Everwood, Closing the Ring, The Dark is Rising). Detective Rick Merriweather (Shawn Doyle: 11th Hour, Big Love) and Detective Constable Ford Sanders (Lyriq Bent: Sophie, SAW II-IV) are two dedicated officers from the Weapons Enforcement Unit who struggle to balance family life with an investigation growing in complexity and danger.
Duguid traffics guns from the U.S. and sells them to street thugs. His father, Paul Duguid (Colm Feore: Bon Cop, Bad Cop, Chicago), is the man pulling the strings behind a much larger organization. Paul is a legitimate arms dealer accredited by many governments to sell weapons internationally, but he sells weapons illegally too. Paul comes under increased police scrutiny when Bobby mistakenly shows up at a street level gun dealer’s house that happens to be under surveillance. Trouble
deepens for Bobby after he engages his girlfriend Frances’ (Elisha Cuthbert: 24, Captivity, Love Actually) help and the police begin tracking her movements as well.GUNS also stars Cle Bennett (How She Move, Odyssey 5) as Conrad Shannon, KC Collins (Doomstown, Poor Boy’s Game) as Derek Wilson, and Stephen McHattie (Diamonds, 300, The Rocket) as Detective Sgt. Clay.
GUNS is written and co-created by Jennifer Holness and Sudz Sutherland. It is directed by Sudz Sutherland and produced by Jennifer Holness. It is a Hungry Eyes Film & Television in association with CBC Television.
