The Premiers

This ten-part series documents the lives and legacies of ten dynamic provincial leaders from British Columbia to Newfoundland and Labrador. Produced by award-winning journalist Holly Doan, the Premiers focuses on the premiers and provinces that shaped a nation.

Mr. Bennett was a successful Kelowna hardware merchant who made history as the province’s longest-serving premier. Championing his Social Credit party and its ideals, Mr. Bennett built a big, bright future for British Columbia through development and enterprise.

Featuring rarely seen archival footage and lively interviews with Bill Bennett (Mr. Bennett's son and a former Premier) and W.A.C.'s successor, Premier David Barrett, the documentary captures the essence of W.A.C. Bennett the man and the province that he shaped.
