Untold history is still history, and it deserves to be heard – and the new Knowledge Network documentary series British Columbia: An Untold History aims to tell largely untold stories from and about the land that is known today as British Columbia. Over the course of four riveting episodes, we see that the region’s history is a confluence of cultures, races, genders, conflicts, and narratives. Through interviews, archival photography, and dramatic re-creations, we learn about the bravery, ignorance, ingenuity, industriousness, greed, selflessness, and fear that formed British Columbia into what it is today. It’s complicated – like all history. But British Columbia: An Untold History helps us see the past for what it is so that we can make better sense of our present, and hopefully, ultimately, not repeat the same mistakes.

British Columbia: An Untold History was written and directed by documentary filmmaker and producer Kevin Eastwood. It will air on the Knowledge Network and also screens as part of the 2021 Vancouver International Film Festival. Kevin returns to the YVR Screen Scene Podcast to reflect on his monumental adventure through BC’s untold history, including trauma-informed documentary filmmaking and what we lose as a community when we wilfully overlook difficult stories from our past.
