Keep Your Head Up, Kid - CBC's Don Cherry biopic - airs in two parts Sunday and Monday nights.
It is a "story about success and failure and perseverance." That's how Jared Keeso, who portrays Cherry, describes the film.
The film was written and produced by Don's son Tim, a long time television producer in Canada. While most Canadians know Don as the loud television personality, this movie does not cover that. Instead it chronicles Cherry's life as a youth, a minor league hockey player and long time coach.
CBC has lots more information.

I watched every minute of this movie. I agree with Wayne Peterson it was great in every way. If more stories like this could be told it would improve Canadian productions. I have been convinced for a long time that there is an amazing story in every Canadian.
And Don Cherry... though at times you have rubbed people many ways in recent years... I believe that you have earned the right to do so! You are my hero!
