TASK:
Describe Haiti's historical relationship with global powers.
I was given these 4 notes from the film's director.
1. Explain, but create suspense
2. Possibly shown during credits at the end of the video
3. Played alongside a burning candle
4. Communicate hope
LANGUAGE I CRAFTED:
When the world order tried to write Haiti's story, Haitians wrote it themselves. As a result, the country, one of the richest colonies during the age of colonial western exploration, became subject to the greed and racism of conspiring imperial influence.
Today Haiti continues to rise above their circumstances, showing the world that the right to determine oneself is an immovable right of one's humanity that no one can give— or take away.
