10 Slave Murders Too Brutal to Forget

In November 1857, ten white men died in a single night across four Louisiana plantations. The murders were systematic, coordinated, and terrifyingly precise—bodies dismembered and arranged to send messages the white community couldn't understand but the enslaved population knew perfectly. This is the story of Solomon, a carpenter who could read and write in a society that made literacy a crime, and the network of people who planned three years to challenge a system that claimed absolute power over them.
Drawing from courthouse records, plantation ledgers, personal diaries, and oral histories passed down through generations, this documentary reconstructs how enslaved people in Ascension Parish organized one of the most sophisticated acts of coordinated resistance in the antebellum South. It's a story about the architecture of silence, the mathematics of revenge, and the long memory of communities who refused to forget.
The bodies told a story. The silence told another. And both stories challenge everything we think we know about power, resistance, and whose violence gets remembered.
