Filmed clandestinely under the Duvalier dictatorship, the film shows the exploitation of the Haitian people. From peasant farms in the tropical mountains to foreign-owned sweatshops in Port-au-Prince, the film takes the viewer on a journey through Haitian history to a deeper grasp of the country’s political economy today.
