About Unspeakable

Unspeakable is a drama TV series that premiered on CBC Television on January 9, 2019. It has 1 season and 8 episodes so far and has ended. The latest episode, Season 1 Episode 8 "Apologies (2005 - 2015)", aired on February 27, 2019.

In the early 1980s, AIDS emerged and quickly became an epidemic. Those responsible for public safety failed. People were kept in the dark, afraid to speak out. Ignorance, arrogance, politics and economics all lead to betrayal, to cover-up, to scandal. Unspeakable is told from the perspective of two families caught in a tragedy that gripped a nation, as well as the doctors, nurses, corporations and bureaucracy responsible.
