Special Event: Screening & Talk The Story of Bones with The Black Curriculum & Doc Society

Event details

The Black Curriculum ,Doc Society and Into Film host a screening of documentary A Story of Bones, 

A Story of Bones follows a woman's battle to get the island of Saint Helena to properly recognise the burial grounds of thousands of enslaved Africans. Along the way, she makes connections with people remembering and celebrating Black heritage across the world.

TBC was founded in 2019 to address the lack of Black British history in the UK Curriculum and their 'Teach Black History 365' (#TBH365) mission was celebrated as part of our Black History & Experiences programme on Into Film+, which aims to move beyond Black History Month and embed Black history in the national curriculum throughout the year.

In 2022, Into Film and TBC officially partnered up and we kicked things off by chatting to Lavinya about her aims for the social enterprise, why schools should get involved and the centrality of film within their programme.

Speaker

Quote from Lavinya Stennett, Founder and CEO of The Black Curriculum:

"We are delighted to be partnering with Into Film on this screening of 'A Story of Bones' and more broadly across both our programmes. Our joint aim is to equip young people with a sense of identity, celebrate their Black heritage and allow their history to be told. This film shines a spotlight on an important part of hidden Black British history and is a pertinent topic to launch our partnership"
