Future History (TV series)
Future History is a Canadian documentary series, which premiered in 2018 on APTN.[1] Hosted by Kris Nahrgang and Sarain Fox, the series profiles efforts to reclaim and revive indigenous cultures in Canada.[2]
The hosts were selected for contrast; Fox is a younger indigenous activist, while Nahrgang is an older man who was raised largely disconnected from his own indigenous heritage, and is himself on a journey of discovery.[3]
The series was created by actress and producer Jennifer Podemski.[4]
The series received three Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 8th Canadian Screen Awards in 2020, all for the episode "Awaken/Goshkoziwin": Best Editing in a Factual Program or Series (Ian Sit), Best Direction in a Factual Program or Series (Jennifer Podemski) and Best Writing in a Factual Program or Series (Tamara Podemski). Jennifer Podemski won the award for Best Direction.[5]
