Buried Stories

Buried Stories is an oral history and documentary theatre project based in Staten Island, NY. Buried Stories seeks to investigate the stories buried beneath the Fresh Kills Landfill. What was it like to grow up near the landfill? To work near the landfill? And now that it is turning into Fresh Kills Park and the garbage is buried beneath grass and trees, what else is being buried?
