Bitter Cane

Six years in the making, Bitter Cane was clandestinely shot under the Duvalier regime, and stands as a timeless documentary about the exploitation and foreign domination shaping the Haitian people. From peasant coffee farms in the rugged tropical mountains to the steamy, US-owned sweatshops in the bustling capital, the film guides viewers through Haitian history toward a deeper understanding of the country’s political economy.
