On June 22, 1985, Air India flight 182 left Montreal en route to Delhi with 329 passengers aboard, most of them Canadian. Four hours later, an explosion in the baggage compartment destroyed the plane, killing all on board. This powerful, intelligent and provocative documentary is a first-person account of the Air India conspiracy and its tragic aftermath. The story is told by those who were directly involved, including families of those who died, key CSIS and RCMP investigators and the conspirators themselves. Their testimony is interwoven with reconstructions of key moments in the conspiracy, based entirely on court documents, de-classified CSIS reports and wiretaps.

Air India 182 reveals the story of how Canada’s first major counter-terrorism operation failed to thwart this conspiracy and lays bare the "perfect storm" of errors that resulted in the world’s most lethal act of aviation terrorism before 9/11.
