The Haitian Experience in the context of Film

Since the devastating Earthquake that shattered the beautiful Island of Haiti almost 5 years ago on January 12, 2010, this mystical Island, its people, and its Diaspora are all at a crossroad. Every aspect of its culture, its politics, and the physical land itself is on a movement to redefine its identity. While some children of Haiti and those who left back in the day sit on the sideline waiting for a change to happen, many in the Diaspora have awaken to the call and are part of a mass movement to change the face of this fascinating country. More and more, you hear of people moving back to Haiti to make an impact. Those are the positive stories . . . until you hear from the voices of the Deportees.

Ayiti Images, in partnership with the Green Family Foundation, the Latin American and Caribbean Center at FIU and the Cinema and Interactive Media Department at the University of Miami present the SCREENING OF DEPORTED. Learn more about Deportation by coming out to a screening near you, meet the co-director Rachèle Magloire and share your wisdom.

About Ayiti Images

Ayiti Images is a new Florida traveling film series showcasing documentaries and narrative films about the Haitian experience. The films are diverse in its point of views ranging from issues on US deportation laws, history, Haitian identity to the Haitian Diaspora experience. The series includes panel discussions, networking and music. Collaborating with local Universities, community organization's and cultural institutions, the film screenings will take place throughout the Florida area to expose residents to a diverse conversation about Haiti.

All the films that will be screened will also be produced and directed by Haitian or Haitian American directors, which also promotes an authentic voice that is seldom heard from its own perspective.
