Scope and content
This six-part series explores the history of British Columbia through the eyes and the words of the people who lived it, from the arrival of Captain James Cook in Nootka Sound to Jimmy Pattison's stewardship of Expo 86. BC Times (1997) is presented chronologically, with a focus in each part on the dominant themes that embody this province's past and define its present: immigration, racism, the exploitation of and dependency on our natural resources, the social benefits and costs of industrial growth, the disenfranchisement and impoverishment of the native population, the abuses of political power, and the strange relationship between BC and the outside world. These interlaced themes form a narrative backbone to the series, shed light on the past and provide insights into the present. The series features archival photographs and film, artifacts, and contemporary footage of critical locations around the province and augment the interviews with historians and local characters. Individuals interviewed include David Mitchell, Brian Hayden, Jean Barman, Dave Barrett, Wendy Grant, Jack Uppal, Shirley Sterling, Gibb Yip, Victoria Yip, Doc Yip, Ed John, Sandra Morrison, Mrs. Mundie, Dave Barrett, William George, Joy Kogawa, Jack Geddes, Mrs. Millar, Florence Miller, Peter C. Newman and Grace McCarthy.
Series consists of six master tapes for the episodes, a set of video elements and textual material relating to the development of the production.
