Fields of Endless Day is a 1978 Canadian docudrama film, directed by Terence Macartney-Filgate.[1] The film dramatizes various vignettes from Black Canadian history, from the early settlement of New France in the 1600s through to the early 1930s.[2][3]

Stories depicted in the film include those of Mathieu da Costa, the first known free black person in Canada; Marie-Joseph Angélique, a slave who was controversially convicted and executed for purportedly burning down her master's house in 1734; the abolition of slavery in Upper Canada by John Graves Simcoe in 1793; the settling of Salt Spring Island by Black Canadians in the 1850s; and the story of cowboy and rancher John Ware.[2]

Produced by the National Film Board of Canada, the film was distributed as a CBC Television broadcast on October 18, 1978.[1]

The film received a Canadian Film Award nomination for Best Feature Length Documentary at the 29th Canadian Film Awards in 1978.[4]
