11/30/2007 - 21:00

A new documentary film that profiles Father Christopher Hartley, a Spanish priest who travels to the Dominican Republic to stop a modern-day slavery operation. Thousands of Haitian men are forced to work in inhumane conditions to harvest sugar cane for obscenely rich sugar barons. In the face of multiple death threats, Father Hartley works with these dispossessed workers to stand up for themselves. This screening is hosted by Toronto Haiti Action Committee.
