Bristol Indymedia Film Night: Haiti & Revolution

Monday 4th February 2008, 8.30pm at the Cube Cinema, Stokes Croft, 
Bristol
Entry £2/£3 (but nobody refused entry for a lack of funds.) - 
Tonight's film night looks at Haiti: A French and Creole speaking 
Latin American country located in the Greater Antilles archipelago 
on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. It has a rousing history, 
having overthrown slavery via a mass revolution in the 1790s yet 
today it is the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation.

We planned to show 'Aristide And The Endless Revolution', however 
due to postage issues with our copy of the DVD arriving, we will 
either show that or another acclaimed documentary about Haiti; The 
Agronomist (directed by Jonathan Demme) follows the life of Jean 
Dominique, who ran the Haiti's first independent radio station, 
Radio Haiti-Inter, during multiple repressive regimes. "Rousing, 
heartbreaking...the movie is aglow with its subject's clear-eyed 
optimism." Philadelphia Weekly (96% review score, Rotten Tomatoes)
