English with intertitles in English, French, and Kreyòl According to Jean Marc Bazil,
interpreter, tour guide and self-proclaimed Haitian Sensation, the
Haitians have a proverb that says, “I stir water to make butter.”
With
that begins a poetic excursion into the heart of the tumult
that is life in present-day Haiti.
Employing elements of classic
newsreel style, silent era intertitling, and a bold soundscape of field
recordings, director John Kamys assembles a compelling and thoughtful
modern travelogue of the poorest country in the western hemisphere.
