Documentary Screening: A Story of Bones (2022)

The Rockland Public Library presents a screening of A Story of Bones by Joseph Curran, Dominic Aubrey de Vere, and Yvonne Isimeme Ibazebo on Thursday, November 7, at 6:00 p.m.

As Construction Environmental Officer for St. Helena’s troubled airport project, Annina van Neel learns about an unmarked mass burial ground of an estimated 9,000 formerly enslaved Africans. Haunted by this historical injustice, she and African American preservationist Peggy King Jorde fight for the proper memorialization of these forgotten victims, exposing the UK’s disturbing colonial past and present.

This event is a collaboration with the award-winning documentary series POV (www.pbs.org/pov).
