Film subjects include one man who stabbed fellow inmate Clifford Olson 21 times, before Olson committed his serial killings.[3] Another of the film's subjects was abused as a child while a resident at the Mount Cashel Orphanage in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. A Hard Name ends with archival television footage of him performing, playing the guitar and singing for other young residents of the home.[4] Zweig admitted to be intimidated about doing these interviews: {{Quote| "[...] Intimidated, I guess. Less by their danger and more by a male competitive thing, in a way…they’re going to see through me. They’re going to see that if I went to jail, I’d be an easy mark. I’m not as tough as them. I haven’t survived what they’ve survived and they’re just going to dismiss me as a weak citizen.”}}However, the ex-convicts interviewed were surprisingly open to Zweig and allowed themselves to be shown as vulnerable.[2] ReleaseA Hard Name premiered May 3, 2009 at the Royal Cinema in Toronto.[2] The film received the Genie Award for best feature-length documentary.[1] It was also chosen as one of the top ten audience favourites at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.[5]References1. ^1 {{cite news|title=Hot Docs turns focus on 2 Toronto directors|url=http://www.cbc.ca/arts/film/story/2011/01/18/hot-docs-featured-directors.html#ixzz1DlfJTg6o|accessdate=12 February 2011|newspaper=CBC News|date=18 January 2011}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news|last=Papamarko|first=Sofi|title=Behind Alan Zweig’s A Hard Name|url=http://ca.eonline.com/uberblog/b121185_behind_alan_zweigrsquos_hard_name.html|accessdate=14 February 2011|newspaper=E!
