Terry is a 2005 Canadian biographical television film produced by Shaftesbury Films for CTV. Directed by Don McBrearty and written by Dennis Foon, it dramatizes the Marathon of Hope, a cross-Canada run undertaken by the amputee athlete Terry Fox to raise funds for cancer research. Terry was in part conceived as a response to the 1983 film The Terry Fox Story, which had been criticized by Fox's family for inaccurately portraying his character as short tempered.
