| Please come out & join us for a screening of filmmaker Elaine Brière’s important documentary Haiti Betrayed. Drawing on the current political situation in Haiti, we will be joined afterward by Jean Jafrikayiti Saint-Vil for a discussion on the latest imperialist interference in the country’s affairs. This discussion will also be live-streamed on our various social media platforms. When: Thurs April 27th, 6:00 pm ET Where: Blackhurst Cultural Centre (formerly A Different Booklist), 777 Bathurst St., Toronto Admission: Free (RSVP so we can plan food) “Haiti Betrayed is a searing indictment of Canadian leaders’ complicity in the international oppression of this long-suffering nation. The film reveals how Canada, in contravention of international law, allied with the US and France to overturn the democratically elected government in 2004. This story is important for Canadians to come to terms with because we’d like to think that our government, our institutions,are actually playing an empowering and a supportive role for the establishment of democracy in Haiti; fighting poverty, building social programs. But unfortunately, if you look carefully at the record, that’s exactly what’s not happening.” – VanCity Theatre |
