MICHAEL SHANKS - UNSPEAKABLE Q and A by Blaine Schlechter You star as ‘Will Sanders’ in the CBC show Unspeakable which has its season finale on Wed Feb 27th. For those who haven’t been following or are planning on doing some binge watching to catch up on CBC Gem…tell us a bit about the show? The series mostly focuses on a couple of families in the 1980’s who both have children that were/are hemophiliacs who, through the Canadian tainted blood scandal, one of them contracts Hep C and the other one contracts the AIDS virus. It’s about the fallout and the fight against the institutions that allowed it to happen. It sort of explains it to the larger population bases that really didn’t know too much about what was going on about how these families dealt with it and are still dealing with it and how lives were affected during that time frame. s there anything you can share about the finale or is it best to just tune in and watch it? I think after the first seven (episodes) it’s hard, there’s so many different story lines going on. I say it’s mostly about these two families, (but) there is a large number of people that sort of get picked up along the way that all the parties are dealing with, both friends and people that are associated with the battle; nurses and lab techs and others that are part of it. It’s kind of best to tune into it, but obviously for anybody that can’t it’s best to watch it all the way through, otherwise it’s kind of hard to pick it up on the fly. There’s so many different threads that’s ongoing, and it takes place over a 25 year period, so it’s quite a complicated story that way. Originally on CBC now on Sundance TV
