While assessing an airport development project in St Helena, an environmental officer stumbles upon a burial ground of African slaves. This discovery raises questions about the prioritisation of economic development over restitution. With the island’s economy relying on the United Kingdom, some inhabitants launch a campaign urging the UK government to rebury the remains of 325 exhumed African bodies from the airport construction site. A Story of Bones is a captivating and is sure to enthrall documentary lovers, history enthusiasts and archeology specialists alike.
