Synopsis:
An unique road trip. An unprecedented, genuine portrait of Haiti.
Filmed
in Cap-Haitien, Hinche, Port-au-Prince and Petit Goave in 2008, two
years before the devastating earthquake -- world food prices were
dramatically increasing and an UN peacekeeping mission was going on. The
film is a record of pre-earthquake Haiti.
In Haiti follows the
two filmmakers and friends, Florian Wiesner and Fabian Bohnet-Waldraff
on a month-long road trip through the island. During their journey they
get immersed in the different and complex aspects of haitian reality.
Instead
of focusing on the usual poverty/violence topics seen in the mass
media, the filmmakers present a colorful and deeper picture of the
country and its people. The movie is also about road stories,
improbabilities, impressions and anecdotes.
Some of the issues
explored by this documentary are: The school and health system, the
causes of deforestation and food insecurity. An insight is also given on
the history of the country and the voodoo religion.
Director: Florian Wiesner
