Hate against Haitian immigrants ignores how US politics pushed them here
“Haitians have, and always have, embodied the wherewithal to seek self-determination. "The Fight for Haiti" shows us that the Haitians of today are indeed their ancestors' wildest dreams.
This gripping documentary takes us into historical and current events sparked by a seemingly simple question: What happened to billions of dollars in missing development funds received through Venezuela’s PetroCaribe oil alliance?”

Haitians in America vs. racist narratives, again
“Haitian journalist and filmmaker Etant Dupain has given us just the kind of new narrative that Ulysse has called for with his latest film, “Batay Pou Ayiti,” or “The Fight for Haiti” in English, which will premiere in the United States on Northeastern University’s Boston campus on Thursday. The film chronicles the advocacy of the Kot Kòb Petrocaribe movement, a grassroots effort that began in 2018 to demand government transparency and accountability from Haitian leaders. Dupain’s film showcases a generation of young activists for justice who are hopeful they can create change in today’s Haiti.”
