Arena (1975)

Kanaval: A People's History of Haiti in Six Chapters (2022x5)

Date de diffusion: Nov 27, 2022

A visually arresting feature documentary, set in the present but which tells the rich story of Haiti’s past, that follows a number of carnival performers in the lead-up to, and during, the annual Jacmel Mardi Gras. This is not the carnival of sequins and sound systems found elsewhere in the Caribbean, but a celebration of rebellion and resistance resonating through the centuries.
