British Columbia: An Untold History is a Canadian documentary television series, which aired on Knowledge Network in 2021.[1] Directed by Kevin Eastwood, the four-episode series highlights some of the lesser-known stories in the history of the Canadian province of British Columbia.[2] The project portrays a diverse perspective of B.C.'s shared past, as told by those who have lived and/or studied it, and features the voices of authors, historians, Elders, activists, community leaders, and descendants of historical figures, many of whom are members of Indigenous, Chinese, Japanese, South Asian, and Black communities.[3]

The series received five nominations from the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television at the 2022 Canadian Screen Awards, for Best History Documentary Program or Series, Best Direction in a Documentary Series (Eastwood), Best Photography in a Documentary Program or Factual Series (Alfonso Chin and Michael Bourquin), Best Editorial Research (Leena Minifie and Jennifer Chiu), and Best Visual Research (Lanna Lucas, Casey Lees, Ben Mussett, Leah Siegel, Don Bourdon and Emma Metcalfe Hurst).[4]
