The Forgotten Dead

From the mid-19th to early 20th century, the green space that is now Schneider Park in Akron, Ohio, was a cemetery attached to the county poorhouse, which housed elderly and disabled people of that era. To tell the story of the people who resided there, a local theater troupe of actors with disabilities reenacts what life would have been like for them back then.

Very informative and people being very caring. Cementaries should be respected. All people matter.

Everyone was very good actors to demonstrate some history of Akron, Ohio. Wonderful documentary; our family enjoyed watching, but also very sad for those who were forgotten mistreated. This would make a great movie

When you are dead I highly doubt you are worried about people playing sport or dogs defaecating. Graves and bodies are constantly moved, studied, used as tourist attractions (eg Paris catacombs, Egyptian mummies) or interfered with one way or another throughout history. Personally I’m getting cremated and my ashes tossed.
