.The film "Unhushed" was made out of the desire to reveal to the world the story of Slavery & Plantations in Camden, NJ. On July 25th, 2005 this film was shot
It focuses on the Plantation House - Pomona Hall which was the big house on a 412 acre Plantation in the 1700's in my home town of Camden, NJ in the section of the city now called Parkside.
