The success of the Haitian Revolution, led by blacks enslaved by the French, was a milestone in the propagation of the republican and democratic ideals in the Americas. Paradoxically, the former colony suffered a brutal boycott, both militarily and commercially, after its independence. The work records a popular uprising against undue frauds and interferences by foreign nations in the 2016 Haitian elections. Against the commonplaces of misery and indigence built by the international mediatic imagery, the video stresses the embattled spirit and the commitment with freedom of Haiti’s political culture.
