Black Life: Untold Stories is an eight-part documentary series that reframes the rich and complex
histories of Black experiences in Canada, dispelling commonly accepted myths and celebrating the many,
and often unrecognized, contributions of Black Canadians who helped to shape the country. Spanning
more than 400 years fraught with violence, racism, perseverance, and triumph, the series unveils a
nuanced and unvarnished view of the lives of Black Canadians. The horrors of slavery and segregation
are explored alongside illustrations of resistance, as well as the wonders and rewards of community,
creativity, and resilience. Black Life: Untold Stories employs intimate verité, expert testimonies,
evocative recreations, rarely seen archival materials, and visually inspired storytelling to contextualize
histories of Black Canadians for contemporary audiences, enabling an appreciation of the complexities of
Canada’s past. Eight Canadian directors bring their unique perspectives to considerations of slavery,
Black empowerment, hip-hop, immigration, art and literature, sports, policing, and settlements, in
separate episodes.
