Join us for a screening of The Agronomist.
The Agronomist tells the story of Haitian national hero, journalist, & freedom fighter Jean Dominique.
As owner & operator of his nation's oldest & only free radio station, Dominique was frequently at odds with his country's various repressive governments & spent much of the 80's & early 90's in exile in New York.
Jean Dominique fought tirelessly against his country's overwhelming injustice, oppression, & poverty but it was his shocking & still-unsolved assassination in April of 2000 that gave Jonathan Demme the impetus to assemble more than a decade's worth of material into a celebration of this dynamic man's life & legacy.
Co-sponsored with the Latin American, Caribbean, & Latin@ Open Forum.
