of the white colonial power structure. The good news is, we are in the midst of
a paradigm shift in consciousness when it comes to appreciating history from
multiple viewpoints. In this zippy NFB documentary, Hayley Gray and Elad Tzadok
survey the inspiring work of a handful of community archives across British
Columbia. It’s an important and timely reminder that the model of a centralized
repository of records and artifacts is highly problematic—indeed, the official
version of our history as presented by the Royal Museum of BC, for example, has
consciously or not served to propagate a white supremacist narrative.</font></i></p>

Indigenous, Queer, Trans, the Chinese Canadian Museum, the Tahltan Nation, the
South Asian Legacy Project, and others. Along the way, we learn the secret,
neglected, and untold histories of this place we only think we know.”</font></i></p>
