11:14Now PlayingForensic architecture researcher Imani Brown and New York Times video producer Alexandra Eaton recently released a new documentary called The Lost Graves of Louisiana’s Enslaved People.
In the documentary, Brown used a technique called cartographic regression to locate the cemeteries of historic enslaved people. Cartographic regression means they used maps that were 140 years old, and critically analyzed how people managed death.
“Getting to see the state of a lot of these lost graves was sad and very moving. And really drove home the need for these sites to be made visible,” says Eaton. According to Eaton, one of the sites they had visited in the video was tough to shoot because it had been destroyed by farming. This was just one example of the difficulties they had to endure to complete this project.
