Union Street Overview

Interspersing interviews with archival footage, Union Street documents the history of Vancouver’s Hogan’s Alley, the Black neighbourhood which was destroyed by the construction of the Georgia viaduct. This history speaks to systemic racial injustice towards Vancouver’s Black community which continues to this day. This beautifully shot portrait commemorates legacies, but also celebrates a new generation of Black Vancouverites working to rebuild community, reclaim cultural space, and facilitate Black joy.
