They said it was just another relocation for the war. But behind the barbed wire of Camp Peary lies the truth — a free Black community erased, its land seized, its name wiped from every map. Magruder, Virginia was built by freedmen after the Civil War… and buried beneath the CIA’s most secret training base known as The Farm.

This 10-minute film uncovers the town the government tried to hide — the families displaced twice, the churches demolished, and the descendants who still whisper, “We see you.”
