En présence du réalisateur
At the crossroads of history, anthropology and culture, this feature documentary focuses on Ayiti Toma: that Haiti beyond preconceived notions of imperialism, slavery, natural disasters and humanitarian aid. A cinematographic reflection on its future prospects, thanks to the testimonies of the Ayitians themselves, whether they are specialists, followers of voodoo or young survivors of a neighborhood in Port-au-Prince.
