In the process, Creet discovers the privacy and ownership concerns over the collection, aggregation and transfer of vast amounts of information \u2013 about the living and the dead \u2013 within and across borders.<\/p>\n<p>\"The idea for <em>Data Mining the Deceased<\/em> came from a previous documentary called <a href=\"http:\/\/hotdocslibrary.ca\/en\/detail.cfm?filmId=13096\"><em>Mum<\/em><\/a>, which was a story about a family secret,\u2019\u201d says Creet. When she finished producing that documentary and digging into her family history, she asked herself \u201cwas I a part of a larger zeitgeist?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The answer is yes. Yet, the reason to why people feel the need to discover their ancestry beyond that of their parents, and perhaps their grandparents, depends on where they\u2019re from, their ethnicity and how much their family has migrated. Creet notes that contemporary interest in genealogy arises primarily from migratory populations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI take up the question of African-American ancestry in the documentary,\u201d says Creet. \u201cAfrican-Americans are among the most deracinated people in the world. Their ancestry is a line that\u2019s completely broken by slavery, so there is very much a need about establishing identity with respect to racial or cultural origins that has all kinds of repercussions for pride in one\u2019s inheritance. It\u2019s one thing to say, \u2018I came from slaves.\u2019 It\u2019s another thing to say \u2018I came from this tribe in Africa.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s similar for Jewish people in more recent history, adds Creet. \u201cThe holocaust severed so many family relations and so many people died anonymously, it\u2019s about recognizing family members who were completely eradicated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Iceland, however, with relatively little migration, genealogy is vital to the well-being of the country. With a relatively small <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cia.gov\/library\/publications\/the-world-factbook\/geos\/ic.html\">population of over 335,000 people<\/a>, Icelanders work hard to avoid intermarriage and keep track of family lineage with an online family database called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.islendingabok.is\/English.jsp\">\u00cdslendingab\u00f3k<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have to worry about family lines because genetic weaknesses and inherited diseases increase if you\u2019re marrying within a very small gene pool,\u201d Creet says. Biopharmaceutical company DeCode Genetics, which funded the creation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.islendingabok.is\/English.jsp\">\u00cdslendingab\u00f3k<\/a>, was given access to the country\u2019s medical records for all Icelanders dead or alive and began to aggregate and sell records, donated DNA data and other collected genealogical information. That\u2019s when concerns about privacy arose and, for example, Icelanders began to understand the repercussions of what would happen if DNA data ended up in the hands of insurance companies.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_237942\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-237942\" class=\"size-full wp-image-237942\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/files\/2017\/01\/SaltFlatsStoryImage.jpg\" alt=\"A scene from Julia Creet's documentary film\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2017\/01\/SaltFlatsStoryImage.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2017\/01\/SaltFlatsStoryImage-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-237942\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A scene from Julia Creet's documentary film<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThere was a privacy challenge that went to the Supreme Court of Iceland and the Supreme Court ruled that in fact Icelanders\u2019 privacy has been breached,\u201d says Creet, but by that time the information was already sold overseas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe value in the data is in the braiding of genetic and genealogical information, which is hugely helpful for medical purposes,\u201d says Creet. Yet, \u201ca lot of people don\u2019t realize that when you give information or DNA to a genealogical database, you\u2019re giving away all of your proprietary rights to that information.
