Cosmos Mariner Productions produced this new short video for Telfair Museums’ Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters in Savannah highlighting the groundbreaking things the museum is doing to tell the little-known stories of the enslaved people who toiled behind the scenes in this sumptuous Southern mansion.
Our crew cataloged the meticulous preservation work carried out by experts inside the Owens-Thomas House's slave workspaces, interviewed scholars who have conducted original research into the identities of the enslaved individuals, and even painstakingly re-enacted the hours-long culinary tasks and backbreaking laundry work they performed here more than a century and a half ago.
We are very proud of our film, and we hope that, after you've enjoyed it online, you'll visit the museum yourself to see the wonderful new exhibit in person!
