The docuseries, which also highlights the legacy of Black contributions to the larger story of Canada, will premiere on February 26.<\/p>\n<p><em>BLK: An Origin Story<\/em> is produced by Hungry Eyes Media in association with Corus Studios for HISTORY.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Holness, executive producer of Hungry Eyes Media Group, said: \u201cAs Canadian creatives, <em>BLK: An Origin Story<\/em> embodies our professional mission to champion fresh and authentic perspectives toward storytelling. We crossed the country and spoke, listened and learned. The result is four hours of programming that resets the understanding of Black history in Canada. It was important for us to deliver the series as a comprehensive, multilayered, multidisciplinary and essential Canadian journey. We are grateful to the stalwarts, knowledge keepers and storytellers from Black Canadian communities and locations from Vancouver to Halifax, with Owen Sound, Amherstburg, Windsor and Montreal as points in between. They\u2019ve shared the immense generational experiences and events documented in each episode. We view history, and Black contribution to Canadian history, as a defining part of Canada\u2019s overall identity, from both an inward and outward gaze.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lisa Godfrey, senior VP of original content at Corus Studios, said: \u201cIt is a crucial time in our country\u2019s history to reflect on and share the important Black narratives that influenced our nation. We are proud to partner with the talented storytellers at Hungry Eyes Media who have developed this must-see and influential docuseries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sudz Sutherland, executive producer for Hungry Eyes Media Group, said: \u201cBlack people are entitled to know how they have taken up space in Canada, going back to the beginning of how the country\u2019s identity has been shaped. The historic learnings that we share in this documentary series are vitally important for our communities since we cannot move forward without acknowledging our tremendous contributions to Canada\u2019s past. In shedding these lights, the series contributes to the larger societal conversation toward dismantling systemic racism.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HISTORY and Hungry Eyes Media Group have partnered for\u00a0BLK: An Origin Story, a four-part documentary series about the historical impact of Black Canadians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":17468,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[5979,474,5980],"class_list":["post-17467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-blk-an-origin-story","tag-history","tag-hungry-eyes-media-group","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>HISTORY &amp; Hungry Eyes Doc Explores Canada\u2019s Black History - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/history-hungry-eyes-doc-explores-canadas-black-history\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"HISTORY &amp; Hungry Eyes Doc Explores Canada\u2019s Black History - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"HISTORY and Hungry Eyes Media Group have partnered for\u00a0BLK: An Origin Story, a four-part documentary series about the historical impact of Black Canadians.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/history-hungry-eyes-doc-explores-canadas-black-history\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-01-14T15:22:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-01-14T17:41:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/blk-an-origin-story-history-hungry-eyes-0122.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"320\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/history-hungry-eyes-doc-explores-canadas-black-history\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/history-hungry-eyes-doc-explores-canadas-black-history\/\",\"name\":\"HISTORY &amp; Hungry Eyes Doc Explores Canada\u2019s Black History - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-01-14T15:22:37+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-01-14T17:41:42+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/history-hungry-eyes-doc-explores-canadas-black-history\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/history-hungry-eyes-doc-explores-canadas-black-history\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/history-hungry-eyes-doc-explores-canadas-black-history\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"HISTORY &amp; Hungry Eyes Doc Explores Canada\u2019s Black History\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
