TitleSpeakers for the Dead
NotesIn the 1930s in rural Ontario, a farmer buried the tombstones of a Black cemetery under a pile of broken rocks to make way for a potato patch. In the 1980s, descendants of the original settlers, Black and White, came together to restore the cemetery - but there were hidden truths no one wanted to discuss. Deep racial wounds were opened. The video reveals the turmoil stirred up and underlines the hidden history of Blacks in Canada.
