The history of how Haiti won its independence, carrying out the first-ever successful slave rebellion. Screening and reception in collaboration with Dusable Heritage Museum.
1804: The Hidden History of Haiti is a documentary film about the untold history of the Haitian Revolution. Produced by the creator of the best-selling Hidden Colors film series, 1804 goes in-depth about the four principal players who were instrumental in Haiti s independence: Makandal, Dutty Bookman, Toussaint Louvature, and Jean-Jacques Dessalines. This documentary gives a competing look into the strategies, the motivation and the mindset that led to Haiti being the only slave population who successfully overthrew their oppressors.
Screened in English, French, Creole with English subtitles.
