ABOUT

In 2018 a seemingly innocuous tweet swiftly took the country of Haiti by storm: kot kòb PetroCaribe a? Where is the PetroCaribe money? Inquiring about billions of dollars in missing development funds, the question ignited a movement unlike any the nation had seen in decades. It became the rallying cry for a people infuriated by rapidly deteriorating living conditions, years of broken promises, and the endemic corruption and impunity of the local and international elite. 

In the face of targeted government repression and devastating state-sanctioned gang violence, the young activists leading the fight are not backing down. As the situation in Haiti evolves at a dramatic pace, the team behind the award-winning film Madan Sara: Pouvwa Fanm Ayisyen captures the defiant and unwavering energy of the next generation of Hatians fighting to build a better future.
