Re: [Videolib] Haiti on Film
There's /The Price of Sugar/, which won a spot on our Notables list last year (2009). Great film, though controversial to the point of litigation. From the website's 'About' section: In the Dominican Republic, a tropical island-nation, tourists flock to pristine beaches unaware that a few miles away thousands of dispossessed Haitians have toiled under armed-guard on plantations harvesting sugarcane, much of which ends up in U.S. kitchens. They work grueling hours and frequently lack decent housing, clean water, electricity, education or healthcare. Narrated by Paul Newman, The Price of Sugar follows Father Christopher Hartley, a charismatic Spanish priest, as he organizes some of this hemisphere's poorest people to fight for their basic human rights. This film raises key questions about where the products we consume originate and at what human cost they are produced. http://www.thepriceofsugar.com From what I understand, the legal issues have prevented the availability of the film for home video release, but it is available with PPR to institutions. Best wishes for your series -- sounds like a great idea! Cheers, * Meghann Matwichuk, M.S. Associate Librarian Instructional Media Collection Department Morris Library, University of Delaware 181 S.

Re: [Videolib] Haiti on Film from Filmakers Library
Dear Blaine, Filmakers Library has many excellent films on Haiti. (Click on titles for full descriptions.) Failing Haiti Haiti is a nation caught in a tragic, downward spiral. Its economy is broken, its land denuded, and its children hungry. Combining vivid footage with interviews of a wide range of people who are close to recent events there, the film documents how the U.S. and the U.N. failed to help the country. Frontiers: Haiti and The Dominican Republic Formerly a thriving, prosperous French possession inhabited by descendants of African slaves, Haiti is now one of the poorest countries in the world, while an economic boom linked to tourism has occurred in the Dominican Republic. Their border is plagued by daily violence and tension. Buying the Spirit This powerful documentary takes us into the hidden world of voodoo practitioners and offers unique insight into a frequently misunderstood religion. Children of Shadows In Haiti, some destitute families give up young children to work as unpaid domestics in other households. The film reveals this exploitation. Dreamers: The Painters of Haiti The artwork of unschooled Haitian artists, painting with riotous color and beguiling fantasy, is gaining appreciation in the outside world. ** To place orders or receive further information, contact FILMAKERS LIBRARY 124 E. 40th Street New York, NY 10016 Tel. 800-555-9815 or 212 808 4980 Fax. 212 808 4983 E-mail: i...@filmakers.com Web site: www.filmakers.com - Original Message - From: Blaine Waterman To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 6:21 PM Subject: [Videolib] Haiti on Film I'm considering a month of films in May on our troubled neighbor but not finding a great selection in Worldcat.

Re: [Videolib] Haiti on Film
Dear Blaine, TWN distributes two documentaries about Haiti that might be of interest: SECONDHAND (PEPE) In this documentary about used clothing, the historical memoir of a Jewish immigrant rag picker intertwines with the present-day story of 'pepe' — secondhand clothing that flows from North America to Haiti. Secondhand (Pepe) animates the materiality of recycled clothes — their secret afterlives and the unspoken connections among people in an era of globalization. http://www.twn.org/catalog/pages/cpage.aspx?rec=1199card=price VOODOO DANCE This film documents the significant role of Voodoo in Haitian culture from the perspectives of Voodoo priests, government officials, historians and politicians. Attacked by Western clerics and declared a superstition by law in 1935, Voodoo has always been a source of empowerment for the average Haitian. And scholars argue that despite the exploitation, romanticization and vilification of voodoo, it remains an authentic and stabilizing cultural base of everyday Haitian society. http://www.twn.org/catalog/pages/cpage.aspx?rec=746card=price Roselly - Roselly A.
