Solidarity with the Haitian People: A film series on Haiti’s fight for self-determination
-7 p.m. February 26th: Haiti: We Must Kill the Bandits (2007). Directed by Kevin Pina
Blood literally runs in the streets through the chronicle of Feb. 2004's forced ouster of Haiti's elected President Jean Bertrand Aristide and the terror of its citizens that followed. Aristide and his Lavalas political party were democratically elected in 2000 by Haiti's poor majority. The film shows thousands of Aristide supporters gathered to celebrate his inauguration; he promised political and social change, better education, food, and health care for the masses. Although this documentary is a chronicle of oppression, the courage and hope of the poor masses of the Haitian people is by far the most unforgettable element of the story. Written by Kevin Pina
