BITTER CANE
by Haiti Films

"Excellent and provocative... exceptionally well-crafted." - LA Times

"An outstanding analytical documentary... laid out with impressive
clarity... organized with the utmost intelligence... Convincing" -
Variety

"Powerful" - British Film Institute

"Thoughtful" - Village Voice

Six years in the making and filmed clandestinely under the Duvalier
dictatorship, BITTER CANE is a timeless documentary classic about Haiti.
>From peasant coffee farms in the mountains to U.S.-owned sweatshops in
the teeming capital, the film takes the viewer on a journey through
Haitian history to a deeper understanding of that country's political
economy.

Released in 1983, the films  incisive analysis of Haiti's political
economy becomes even more relevant today as wars wage between peasants
and big landowners in the countryside and new assembly factories sprout
up along the Haitian-Dominican border.

Kim Ives, one of the filmmakers, will be present to answer questions.
