British Columbia Teachers Federation: “Go Do Some Great Thing” presents the trials, tribulations and accomplishments of the first black pioneers. This historical documentary, deals with racial persecution which spans two centuries and three countries – Canada , the United States and Great Britain . This film reveals the passion and the struggles of everyday people.

 

Randy Clark: Principal Point Grey Secondary School : Anthony Brown has put together an amazing documentary on a significant period in British Columbia ’s History! I challenge (encourage!) all secondary school educators to include “Go Do Some Great Thing” in the units of study leading up to B.C. Confederation. A must resource in the classroom and school library!

 

Sheliagh Cahill: Film Producer: “Go Do Some Great Thing” brings to light the rich and significant contributions the black pioneers made to the Province of British Columbia . Their mere presence helped to secure a territory that may have fallen into U.S. hands had it not been populated. Kudos to Anthony Brown for making this noteworthy documentary, it is a must see for anyone who wants to look beyond the white-washing of our history books.

 

Dr. Michelle LaFlamme: Anthony Brown has managed to use video to capture the historical contribution that Black People have made in the Canadian west. As a descendant of one of the first Black communities in western Canada , I am pleased that this film manages to honor the contributions made by these pioneers… Anthony should be applauded for taking on this project and working tirelessly to bring this story to fruition.

 

Orville Lee: Social Worker – Go Do Some Great Thing” is an important piece of history that motivates, inspires, and reminds us of our greatness and should be told over and over to all people. This information should be in our history books and taught in our public schools.

 

Adam Voghell: Film Producer – “Go Do Some Great Thing” speaks volumes for a history that has not been given a voice in traditional arenas…Superb! A powerful telling of a brave and compelling story.
