Playing a Dangerous Game

'Playing a Dangerous Game' was the fourth documentary in the series, reflecting the parallels between the Canadian Football League as well as Canada as a country as they each tried to pull together a population in the midst of the FLQ crisis. Award-winning director John Walker melds politics and sport to tell the story of the 1969 Grey Cup in Montreal, played at a time and place where great danger was present.

Here are some of your reactions to Playing a Dangerous Game:

@Peterf_94 This episode of #EngravedOnANation could have been shown in my old Social 20 class, very cool to see the #CFL tied into Canadian history.

@CreationGuy Seems like the TSN series 'Engraved on a Nation' has a common denominator of Grey Cups that Saskatchewan lost.

@RockSinders Can they please make 100 of these...please! #EngravedOnANation #CFL #HundredYearsCFL

@ThomasPine Can you imagine the stories that would come out of that room with Russ Jackson and co? #EngravedOnANation #CFLonTSN

@steve_bat Grey Cup 1969. What a re-education by the CFL. Never knew the connection to National unity #engravedonanation #cfl #TSN

@NickMaibroda Another great doc in the #TSN Engraved on a Nation series. Crazy few years from 1967 to 1970. expo67, the expos, grey cup 69, October crisis

@CDNsports And...another #Riders Grey Cup loss on "Engraved On A Nation". Clearly... losing in engraved on us all. #Sigh

@Ao_its_Moi This engraved on a nation is some gooooodddd stuff!!!

@andreajohnson09 Hey #CFL and #TSN, can you produce an #EngravedonaNation series every season? Loved every feature so far. Brilliant documentaries.

@NickMaibroda Really love Trudeau's white wool cap and a pretty Miss Grey Cup 1969. #playingadangerousgame #ten

@MedHatSpiceLady Finally watching the latest #EngravedOnANation, very interesting. Was surprised to see Graham Kelly on there

@ZephyrGamgee At the height of the FLQ's rebellion, the 1969 Grey Cup was able to unify Canada as the Roughriders beat the Roughriders. #CFL #Documentary

@PamDamoff "Russ Jackson is the greatest Canadian football player of all time" Engraved on a Nation (see @sean_omeara thats why I was so excited)

@KsCollectables #EngravedonaNation ; Ottawa has a HUGE HISTORY in the #CFL! Look forward to them getting their team back.

@HunterZThompson Great footage of Nick Auf Der Mauer conducting interviews during 1969 Grey Cup in Montreal in "A Dangerous Game". #TSN
