HASAN was established by Justin Fornal in 2018 while working with National Geographic on a documentary about Nat Turner, during which the team successfully located and repatriated the presumed skull of Nat Turner to his descendants. Fornal, an award-winning filmmaker, world explorer, and host of Unexplained and Unexplored (Discovery/Science Channel) and his team established HASAN to partner with community stakeholders to bring restorative justice to culturally sensitive projects.
