During his time as Haiti’s Minister of Culture, the filmmaker investigates the limits of power. The result is this striking video-letter, a bitter assessment of a country battered by “300 years of resistance”, and a reminiscence of his youth in Berlin. With Raoul Peck, the biographical always leads to the collective, and the universal never ceases to haunt private experience.
