Synopsis:
An unique road trip. An unprecedented, genuine portrait of
Haiti.
Filmed in Cap-Haitien,
Hinche, Port-au-Prince and
Petit Goave in 2008, two years before the devastating earthquake -- world food prices were dramatically increasing and an
UN peacekeeping mission was going on. The film is a record of pre-earthquake Haiti.
In Haiti follows the two filmmakers and friends,
Florian Wiesner and
Fabian Bohnet-Waldraff on a month-long road trip through the island. During their journey they get immersed in the different and complex aspects of haitian reality.
Instead of focusing on the usual poverty/violence topics seen in the mass media, the filmmakers present a colorful and deeper picture of the country and its people. The movie is also about road stories, improbabilities, impressions and anecdotes.
Some of the issues explored by this documentary are:
The school and health system, the causes of deforestation and food insecurity. An insight is also given on the history of the country and the voodoo religion.
