After this no one was allowed to film again on Hart island - New York city's cemetery for dead people no one wants. A heart-wrenching place.

So sad to have a cemetery that "No One Wants"!!! Somewhere out there we ALL have someone, I think. People should be allowed to visit & care for the cemetery, to be the "people who DO CARE!".

I saw this movie on tv when I was 11 or so and the burial scene has haunted me. I read this article today and I'm glad people are trying to put Hart Island and what it means to them out in the world.
