British Columbia: An Untold History is a Canadian documentary 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 Canadian Screen Awards in 2022, 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]
Synopsis
The four-part documentary examines British Columbia’s dramatic history from the late 18th century through to the present, as told through interviews with figures who have lived and studied it, and presented with archival photos, recreations and aerial footage of the B.C. landscape. Indigenous, Asian, Black and European stories are interwoven to present a diverse look at the sometimes lesser-known events that define B.C. as it is known today.
