1964: Simityè Kamoken

"I come from a family of revolutionary democrats who actively opposed the regime and took part in clandestine actions against François Duvalier. So, in this film, the big story joins mine and my family’s."

In 1964, following the embarkation of around thirty men intent on overthrowing him, the Haitian dictator Duvalier launched a campaign of terror to deter peasants from joining the rebellion, composed of men from the Southeast region where they had settled. Over 50 years later, the peasants recount their story for the first time.
