Bonjour, folks - it's a new episode of ALTMANIA coming at you. We're talking about a documentary that Jonathan Demme made for the PBS, a portrait of a nation in constant renewal and on the brink of their first elections — it's HAITI: DREAMS OF DEMOCRACY. We talk about Jonathan Demme falling in love with this place and its people, how he learned more about Haiti through artists and music, what set them up for the current political situation of the film, and what Haiti is currently going through at the moment, how United States intervention and neoliberal policy has left the nation in the dust after a catastrophic earthquake in 2010, and much more. It's a politics heavy episode, but we do our best to cover a beautiful place full of beautiful art and people.Resources for Haitian Aid:Haiti Adolescent Girls NetworkLide HaitiPartners in Haiti LiteracySt. Luke FoundationSt. Vincent's CenterFollow Altmania:https://altmaniapod.comhttps://estebannoel.comDEMME ARCHIVESupport us on Patreon:https://patreon.com/altmania
