The River Remembers: The Plantation Wife, Her Slave, and the Child Both Claimed

Описание: In 1850s Georgia, beneath the veiled grandeur of the Whitfield plantation, a desperate wife made a forbidden choice — and awakened something that would haunt generations.
When Eleanor Whitfield, barren and shamed, turned to her enslaved maid Mary Grace to bear her husband’s child, she believed she’d found deliverance. Instead, she invited damnation.

For twelve years, the secret of Magnolia Run was kept behind closed doors… until blood, guilt, and the river itself began to speak.
What followed was a haunting so intimate, so human, that it blurred the line between sin and sacrifice.

Unearthed letters. Missing graves. DNA that defied history.
This is the true, gothic investigation of a plantation’s curse — and of two mothers bound by one impossible child.

From the diaries of 19th-century witnesses to modern archaeological revelations, this long-form documentary uncovers the truth behind the Whitfield-Grace tragedy, a story of desperation, exploitation, and the river that would not forget.
