The NESN documentary “Chara at 1,000” — a tribute to Zdeno Chara, the Bruins’ fierce 43-year-old defenseman — is an informative and often charming look behind his curtain of stoicism, further revealing a person who is an authentic leader on and off the ice.
Named after the games-played milestone he achieved in January, the doc debuts Sunday at 7 p.m. on NESN. It’s an hour well spent.
Jack Edwards, who has called the vast majority of Chara’s 1,023 regular-season games with the Bruins over the past 14 season, narrates and conducts the interviews on the franchise pillar.
