Connections: An Investigation into Organized Crime in Canada was a two-part television documentary program, created and broadcast by CBC Television in June 1977 and March 1979. It covered the growth of organized crime in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. Each part ran for 90 minutes. The series was commissioned by Peter Herrndorf from Bill Macadam of Norfolk Communications, written and directed by Martyn Burke, and research directed and associate produced by James Dubro.
The series was notable for its use of advanced equipment - including high speed film and hidden microphones - and for interviews with criminal leaders.
The show received an honourable mention from the Michener Award in 1977, as well as an Anik Award and ACTRA Award.
