Documentary. One of three or four films produced or sponsored by Home Oil Distributors with the cooperation of the Provincial Archives, this film probably traced the history of B.C. through photographs, maps and other archival materials. The title is an allusion to Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", in which the land of "Brobdingnag" is located on the northwest coast of North America (i.e., B.C.). The surviving fragments of the film include shots of an early edition of Gulliver's Travels, of various early maps, and of Nanaimo Harbour, Douglas and Yates Streets in Victoria, and the title and subtitle.
