Very interesting. Thank you very much. Dr Sheila S Walker's and some of Coco Fusco's work also comes to mind here too for me.
Oh i cried! This video shook my soul, through my tears I'm thankful to learn this history. ❤
I feel her frustration but love her passion
Thank You!
This was incredible! 👏🏿😍. Asé
wow how incredible! amazing to see what work those two will accomplish together as they are both powerful people. may the 325 find peace and the remaining thousands attain justice and peace as well. as much as it wasn't that long ago for the descendants of those buried there, it also wasn't that long for the descendants of those who caused that harm and it's a shame that we as people are still taking so long to heal these wounds. thank you for this film.
memorlization is so critical to the work of justice and cultural restitution – these conversations are a crucial strategy to help us deal with our past and create a more just future – bravo to the production team
Has anyone said “reparations”?
Once Russia gets here all history will be erased, let that sink in.
So many uncomfortable with the realities of colonialism.
What she thought was a local struggle…..is a global one🙏🏾
If the humans believe the reptilian, mammalian ways of thinking is the best way.
If it is can the human race survive?🤔
A really important film, and as this shortened version shows, an extremely moving story following Anina and her discovery of the most horrendous colonial history. The full version "A Story Of Bones" will be shown soon on stream. It was shown at Tribeca, Berlin, The Barbican,and many other venues . Thankyou Anina, and Joe and Dominic.
A lot of this footage comes from A Story of Bones, a documentary by Joseph Curran and Dominic Aubrey de Vere that premiered at the Tribeca film festival (where it was nominated for Best Documentary), and was scheduled to appear in the BBC's Storyville strand before being mysteriously withdrawn. Credit where credit's due.
By ignoring it. By white washing it. By blaming the victims. 🤗
Ironic, the small hat tribes were the biggest merchants and profiteers 😂
Commemorations of the achievements of the heroes of the white race in their homelands are also being erased. Let us not forget that. It is outrageously insulting and absurd.
Remembrance, humanity, respect. Nations can have their favourite part in history but no right to erase the ones they feel ashame of. Otherwise we will never learn.
