Season 1: Built from Bones

 

Season one of the Unburied series retraces the footsteps of Dr. Rudolf Pöch, an Austrian anthropologist who traveled through the Kalahari in the early 20th century. 

The series investigates how Pöch dug up graves and took the remains from more than 170 indigenous people and used the bones for race science, to justify white supremacy. 

 

Unburied seeks to understand what happened in the Kalahari and how the events have shaped the lives of the indigenous communities in the Kalahari and the world at large.
