Tickets: FREE (suggested donation $7-15)
Co-presented with Seeds of Liberation, Bklyn Combine, and Warriors in the Garden

Ben Dupuy Kim Ives, 1983, 75 mins.
Produced by Haiti Films 

BITTER CANE examines the history of Haiti, from the 1804 revolution to the occupation (1915-34) by the U.S. Marines, and the repressive Duvalier regimes of `Papa Doc' and `Baby Doc.' Interviews with peasants, landowners, merchants and U.S. businessmen reveal the workings of the semi-feudal agricultural system and the rapidly growing industrial sector, including such consequences as growing unemployment in the U.S. and the perilous ocean voyage of Haitian refugees.

Post-screening discussion with filmmaker Kim Ives!
