The case

Why this film matters to a partner

A cultural moment

Premiering as New York enters Haitian Konpa Day weekend, with an established civic moment already surrounding the music.

A global diaspora

New York. Miami. Boston. Montreal. Paris. Three languages. One culture moving across borders.

A permanent record

Campaigns disappear. Films remain. A partner becomes part of the historical record surrounding the project.

A story still unclaimed

One of Haitian music's most consequential chapters has never received this scale of cinematic treatment.
