CBC Docs POV is a Canadian television point-of-view documentary series, which airs on CBC Television."CBC documentary delivers useful, timely primer on pot". Edmonton Journal, October 29, 2015. The series premiered in fall 2015 under the title Firsthand, replacing Doc Zone, after the CBC discontinued its internal documentary production unit, and was renamed CBC Docs POV in 2017. The series airs one documentary film each week, commissioned from external producers rather than being produced directly by the CBC; some, but not all, films screened as part of the series have also had longer versions separately released as theatrical feature documentaries.
Repeat airings of the series have also sometimes included films which were originally broadcast as part of Doc Zone.
The CBC announced in 2021 that it would not commission further documentaries under the CBC Docs POV brand, instead merging all documentary broadcasts into The Passionate Eye.Jordan Pinto, [https://playbackonline.ca/2021/04/28/exclusive-cbc-implements-new-strategy-brand-for-doc-commissioning/ "CBC implements new strategy, brand for doc commissioning"]. Playback, April 28, 2021.
