Film Story:

This sacred burial space has been used by African American families from across Philadelphia for over a century.  Since the graveyard’s first internment in 1902, when mourners gathered after dark to avoid white residents who had blocked the burial service the day before, Eden’s shifting relationship with its neighborhood has been as multilayered as its continued cultural and personal importance to African Americans in the region.
