  • The remote island of St Helena, a British overseas territory, is best known for Napoleon's tomb - the island's biggest tourist attraction. While overseeing the construction of a long-awaited airport on the island, Annina van Neel learns that the remains of thousands of formerly enslaved Africans have been uncovered, unearthing one of the most significant traces of the transatlantic slave trade in the world. Annina decides to advocate for this legacy, initiating a debate among the islanders - many of whom have shared ancestry with the enslaved - about how to create an appropriate memorial. Along the way, she enlists the help of African American preservationist and veteran activist Peggy King Jorde, who makes important connections in their shared history.
    Buried is available with Swahili and isiZulu translated subtitles which can be applied in video settings. The synopsis is available in both languages below.
    Buried: jinsi tunavyoamua kukumbuka biashara ya utumwa iliyovuka Atlantiki
    Kisiwa cha mbali cha St. Helena, eneo la ng’ambo la Uingereza, linajulikana zaidi kwa kaburi la Napoleon- kivutio kikubwa zaidi cha watalii katika kisiwa hicho. Hata hivyo, huku akisimamia ujenzi wa uwanja wa ndege uliokuwa ukingojewa kwa muda mrefu katika kisiwa hicho, Annina van Neel anagundua kwamba mabaki ya miili ya maelfu ya Waafrika waliokuwa watumwa zamani yamepatikana, na kugundua mojawapo ya alama muhimu zaidi za biashara ya utumwa iliyovuka Atlantiki duniani. Annina anajaribu kuwashawishi wakazi wa kisiwa hicho (wengi wao wakiwa na mababu sawa na watumwa hao) kuheshimu urithi wao na kuunda kumbukumbu inayofaa. Hayo yakijiri, anaomba usaidizi wa mhifadhi na mwanaharakati mkongwe wa Kiafrika Peggy King Jorde, ambaye hufanya miunganisho muhimu katika historia yao iliyoshirikiwa.
    Ukungcwatshwa: indlela esikhetha ukukukhumbula ngayo ukuthengiswa kwezigqila olwandle lwase-Atlantic
    Isiqhingi esikude sase-St. Helena, indawo yaseBrithani yaphesheya kwezilwandle, saziwa kakhulu ngethuna likaNapoleon - eliyindawo eheha kakhulu izivakashi kulesi siqhingi. Kodwa, ngenkathi engamele ukwakhiwa kwesikhumulo sezindiza okwase kuyisikhathi eside silindelwe esiqhingini, u-Annina van Neel wezwa ukuthi kwakutholwe izinkulungwane zemizimba yabantu base-Afrika ababeyizigqila, okwembula umkhondo obaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni wokuthengiswa kwezigqila olwandle lwase-Atlantic. U-Annina uzama ukusiza abantu bakulesi siqhingi (iningi labo eliyizizukulwane zalezo zigqila) ukuba bahloniphe umlando, benze nesikhumbuzo esifanele. Kule mizamo yakhe, ucela usizo lwabalwela ukulondolozwa komlando waBantu Abamnyama BaseMelika kanye nolwesishoshovu esingumakadebona uPeggy King Jorde, ongumxhumanisi okubalulekile emlandweni wabo.

    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.

    I can only imagine how many grave site of enslaved people have been desecrated all over the world. Records never kept or the ones kept were ignored because black Africans were and still are not considered humans worthy of acknowledgement, respect, care and compassion for the dead and the living. I'm happy that this site was discovered and re-recorded. This was very emotional for me to watch. Thank you for producing such a great documentary. ♥🥲

      This channel is interested in the history of enslaved Africans, like the majority of the world. What happened to Africans is deeply profound. Maybe make a video and teach us on the Brits and Romans. How many Britons were slaves? When and where? How were they treated? Were they forced to give birth to future slaves for hundreds of years? Branded? Lynched? I’d really like to learn more.
