In the brutal heart of 19th-century Mississippi plantations lived Annie Turner, an enslaved Black woman whose medical knowledge terrified the very people who claimed to own her. Long before modern medicine reached rural America, Annie practiced a powerful blend of African herbal science, Indigenous remedies, and lived experience—saving lives while risking her own.
This documentary uncovers the forgotten story of Annie Turner, a plantation healer whose remedies treated infections, childbirth complications, fevers, poisonings, and injuries when plantation doctors failed. Enslaved people secretly sought her help at night, while plantation owners feared her growing influence and control over life and death.
Using historical records, oral traditions, and reconstructed narratives, this video reveals how enslaved healers like Annie preserved ancient African medical knowledge passed down through generations. Plantation owners depended on her skills—yet punished her for possessing intelligence they could not control. Her knowledge challenged the myth that enslaved people were unskilled or inferior, exposing a hidden medical resistance operating beneath slavery itself.
This story also explores why healers were closely watched, threatened, or erased from written history. Healing meant power—and power frightened slaveholders. Annie Turner’s legacy represents countless unnamed Black women whose wisdom sustained entire communities while history tried to silence them.
