7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Dir: Arnold Antonin (2022) 1:34 min.

Dessalines is Haiti's main founder. He was assassinated two years after the proclamation of independence. Today he is both a mythical and an unknown figure, used for better and for worse. This film reintroduces him in all his complexity and opens a debate on the Haitian crises and the colonial heritage.
