Africville 25th Reunion

This year marks a special moment in the histroy of Africville. Africville was a small community located on the southern shore of Bedford Basin, in the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. During the 1960's the City of Halifax began to encroach on the southern shores of Bedford Basin and the community and its dwellings were ordered destroyed while the residents were evicted. Some were evicted in dump trucks.

Mark Carvery of Carvery's Video Enterprises is doing a documentary film to commemorate the 25th time former residents of Africville and their families and friends join in remembrance of Africville through song, dance, story telling, and prayer. I'm working with him as a camera operator and gaffer. I'm also going to shoot some still of the making of this documentary. That's Mark in the photo.

This project will be updated on my projects page.
