Unspeakable (TV Miniseries)
2018 · Series · 44 min. · Canada
“Unspeakable,” which focuses on the 1980s tainted blood scandal in Canada, is set to debut in 2018 on CBC in Canada and on SundanceTV in the U.S. as a joint venture. The series is created by Robert C. Cooper, who will serve as showrunner. It is based on the first-person experience and two non-fiction books (“Bad Blood” by Vic Parsons and “The Gift of Death” by Andre Picard) and follows the emergence of HIV and Hepatitis C in Canada in the early ’80s and the tragedy that resulted after thousands of people were unnecessarily infected by tainted blood. The series is a passion project for Cooper, who himself was a victim, having contracted Hepatitis C from tainted blood.
