A little bit about the movies...:

 Port Au Prince Se Pam (Port of Prince Is Mine)  [57 Min]

A Rigoberto Lopez film that portrays the beleaguered city of Port au Prince as it is today… a victim of overpopulation, lack of urban infrastructure, and environmental degradation.

Ame Noire (Black Soul) [9.47 Min].

Director: Martine Chartrand Genre: Animated film. Awards: Golden Bear for the best short-length film, Berlin International Film Festival; Best Animation Film, Santa Barbara International Film Festival; Jutra for best animated film, Crystal Heart, Indianapolis. SYNOPSES: A grandmother teaches her grandson the history of his people: A travel in space and time, to move from Africa to the West Indies and then from the United States to Canada, to show the loneliness of the cotton fields, the slaves’ courage, suffering and rebellion, to let us hear the crack of the whip, the dignity of the singing and the deep voice of the Reverend Martin Luther King dreaming of brotherhood and a better future for his children. A series depicting the Black Pharaohs of Nubian Egypt and the slave trade with the same brilliance, mixing on a single sound track the tribal music of ancient Africa and American jazz.
