BURIED IN HISTORY is an 11-minute short documentary uncovering the little-known story of Spring Valley, one of Washington, D.C.’s most prestigious neighborhoods, which was once the site of a chemical weapons research and testing facility during World War I. The film delves into how the area's wartime history has had long-term consequences for its residents, including issues related to environmental contamination and health risks. Directed by Brett Davis, Lucy Obus, Mary Kate Robbett, and Nick Troiano, this investigative piece sheds light on the intersection of public health, environmental justice, and historical memory in an affluent modern community.
