Union Street (dir. Jamila Pomeroy) x VIFF 2023.

Pomeroy’s engaging documentary properly puts the historical context of Hogan’s Alley and its enduring legacy of African-Canadian pride. Union Street celebrates Vancouver’s Black history while further shedding light on the destruction and displacement of these people from their short but meaningful heritage in the city. Its advocation for a physical space to represent Black culture in Vancouver serves as a worthy call to action.
