Title from container.
Videodisc release of the 2011 motion picture.
Bonus features: interview with director Whitney Dow.
Featuring: Orchestré Septentrional.
Interweaves the extraordinary story of Septentrional with that of Haiti: from the brutality of French colonialism and the bloody revolution that brought Haitians their freedom to the crushing foreign debt and the 15-year American occupation that ushered in the brutal dictatorship of Franȯis "Papa Doc" Duvalier. We see the hope that was created by Jean Bertrand Aristide, and the despair that followed after he was driven from power.
