From the director: Union Street, follows an ensemble of Black Vancouverites who are working to rebuild the Black community that was destroyed in the 60s; while unapologetically expressing Black culture in their own way. As an act of reconciliation and cultural preservation, the film chronicles the ugly truth of Canada’s Black history, while showcasing the acts of resilience that have shaped the culture to what it is today. For our ensemble, understanding our history, helps us to better understand ourselves and build the infrastructure needed for equity in our communities. Union Street unearths African Canadian history that has been buried, minimized and altered-- the history you weren’t taught in school.
