Union Street
“A must-see for every Vancouverite” — Sara Harowitz, Editor-in-Chief, Georgia Straight
“Interspersing interviews with archival footage, Union Street documents the history of Vancouver’s Hogan’s Alley, the formerly Black neighbourhood which was destroyed by the construction of the Georgia viaduct in the 1970s […] Beautifully filmed, this visual portrait speaks to the legacies of the past, as well as the present moment” — VIFF
“This beautifully filmed portrait of a community conjures important discussions about the past and the present” — Vancouver Sun
