In the new feature documentary Unarchived, co-directors Hayley Gray and Elad Tzadok highlight community archives across British Columbia to reveal some of what has been erased from the official record.
Local knowledge keepers are hand-fashioning a more inclusive history through family photos, newspaper articles, and scratchy old VHS tapes. These different collections tell stories of people building connections through work, play, protest, family, and tradition.
Through a collage of personal interviews, archival footage, and deeply rooted memories, the past, present, and future come together, fighting for a space where everyone is seen and everyone belongs. History is what we all make of it.
