Summary
Haitian-born filmmaker Jonas Nosile put together a team and traveled to Haiti to film Haitian history from its early successful struggles for independence through its contemporary, less victorious, battles with poverty. Nosile poses tough questions about the degree of Haitian's responsibility for its dilemma. Will this island nation find a way to break the legacy of its tragic past? Will the spirit of her people be enough to overcome the obstacles? The answers may surprise viewers.
