Union Street is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Jamila Pomeroy and released in 2023.[1] The film centres on the history of the Hogan's Alley neighbourhood in Vancouver, British Columbia, a predominantly Black Canadian community which was demolished in the early 1970s in the name of urban renewal.[2]

The film premiered at the 2023 Vancouver International Film Festival.[3] It was subsequently screened at the Reelworld Film Festival, where Pomeroy won the award for best direction in a feature film.[4]

In February 2024 it received a week-long run at the VIFF Centre,[5] before being released to Telus's Optik streaming platform, TELUS originals, as part of Black History Month.[4]
