Film Screening of Baltimore HEIRS: The Last Deed Undone

 

Baltimore Heirs: The Last Deed Undone — SOS Fund Documentary

“Baltimore Heirs: The Last Deed Undone” is a 2026 SOS Fund–produced documentary examining the crisis of heirs’ property in Baltimore and its impact on Black families
About the film
Directed and written by Jewel Guy, this 45‑minute documentary investigates how tangled property titles, predatory property systems, tax sales, and generations of inequitable housing policies have led to the loss of family homes, land, and wealth in historically Black Baltimore communities. It blends deeply personal stories with historical analysis to reveal the systemic roots of displacement and the urgent need for estate planning and property rights reform.
The SOS Fund describes it as a powerful documentary that highlights the “hidden crisis” of heirs’ property and its lasting effects on Black families.
  • Notable participants: Marlene Jackson, Sean Butler, Nketiah “Ink” Berko, Shari Fleming, Esq., Nneka Nnamdi, John Comer, Dayvon Love, Arnell Garrett, Peggy Powell
  • Festival selection: Official selection of the 2026 International Black Film Festival
Why it matters
The film supports the SOS Fund’s mission to prevent home loss and displacement in Baltimore’s redlined Black neighborhoods and dismantle systemic barriers to property ownership and wealth retention.
Immediately following a 30-minute talk, the SOS Fund can provide intake for service referrals.
Participants can screen the film and leave or stay for the following workshop:
Workshop Title: Legacy Planning Workshop: My Story, My Words
Delivery Method: In Person
Duration: 90 Minutes
Session Overview:
My Story, My Words is a guided 90‑minute experience designed to help participants reflect on their life story, organize essential information, and prepare materials their loved ones will one day need. Through gentle prompts and activities, participants will begin drafting the extended obituary content that memorial programs require, curate meaningful photographs, and gain comfort and confidence in completing an end‑of‑life preparation planner. This workshop offers a supportive, thoughtful space to honor your journey and preserve your story in your own words.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
  • Describe the purpose and value of legacy planning and documenting personal history throughout life.
  • Draft key components of an extended obituary using a guided worksheet.
  • Identify meaningful photographs and artifacts they may want included in a future memorial program.
  • Organize essential personal information that loved ones will need for end‑of‑life arrangements.
  • Demonstrate increased comfort and readiness to complete an end‑of‑life preparation planner independently.
