On Sept. 18, 1992, nine workers crossed the picket line at the Giant gold mine in Yellowknife. Minutes later, all were killed in a horrific explosion. The fallout was a city divided, and one of the most labour-intensive murder investigations the RCMP has ever seen.

Thirty years later, Giant – Murder Underground tells this complex story through the voices of those who lived it, from top police investigators and critical union members to anguished victims, and murder suspects — many of whom have never spoken publicly before.

Through rich archival tape and gripping new interviews, Giant – Murder Underground explores how a labour dispute spiraled into murder, and lays bare the lingering impact and hard lessons of this tragedy.
