The Devil's Plantation

The Devil's Plantation takes viewers on a journey through Glasgow, focusing on archaeologist Harry Bell's belief that the city was designed with a hidden geometry. Throughout the 1980s, Bell investigated this idea, uncovering lost corners and the invisible history of the landscape.

The film intertwines his story with that of psychiatric patient Mary Ross, who also roamed the city, visiting significant locations. Her medical case file adds depth to her quest to understand both her troubled past and present.

This documentary presents a unique exploration of how individual lives intersect with the broader historical narrative of a city. The combination of personal stories and historical inquiry makes it an interesting piece for collectors of documentaries and history enthusiasts alike.
