Unspeakable

Well, Canada says 'Hold My Beer, Eh?'. It is unfathomable to see how despicable humans can be towards each other. I understand this production embellishes a bit for greater reaction but the facts, and the ignorance of facts, tell a tale of a global population that eat their own young. Now, decades later after the events of Unspeakable, Canada is viewed as just as vile as America in how it treats its own citizens. Centuries from now History will teach our ancestors how putrid the human race was in the 20th and 21st Centuries.

An eye-opening, heart-opening series, beautifully written, shot and acted. This compelling story of Canadian/world history, based on true events, is a must-watch. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Gripping docudrama of a dark time in Canadian history that should be part of the school curriculum. This should never happen again.

Just a couple episodes in, this is a surprisingly compelling document of the underreported and misunderstood story of the tainted blood crisis. Well acted and directed, Unspeakable is basically a period piece, accurately evoking early 80s Canada.

There is a famous saying "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it." For those who don't know or don't remember where the most damaging health crisis in the history of Canada comes from, this is a must see series. How many mistakes were made and how many people could have done something but did not. Worst thing? Reality was far more disturbing. A family member was part of a team dealing with people infected by blood products and transfusions and has told me the series just glances over some of the most egregious aspects of this crisis. Watch it and wonder... why?
