Producer Samuel Dameus will discuss his film, The Heroes of the Massacre River, a powerful documentary that chronicles the stories of the pioneers behind the construction of the historic Canal of Ouanaminthe, a project that united Haitians across the nation and the diaspora. This film celebrates the groundbreaking efforts of key figures, including Dr. Bertrude Albert, Dr. Naismy-Mary Fleurant, Architect Wideline Pierre, Economist Etzer Emile, and dedicated canal workers Milourie Sylfrard, Theodore Johnson, and Joseph Pressoir, guided by the investigative journey of Max Angie Clervil.

This event is part of the "Haiti: Past, Present, and Futures" event series organized by Professor Rachel Jean-Baptiste (History and African & African American Studies).
