Freda

Spoken: English/French. Subtitles: English.

To stay, or to go? A question many young Haitians grapple with, as the situation in Haiti deteriorates and the violence gets worse. So does Freda, an anthropology student from a poor neighbourhood in Port-au-Prince. Her boyfriend leaves for Santo Domingo. She is unsure whether she should give up her family and her belief in the future of her country. In the meantime, her sister is trying to move up the social ladder by bleaching her skin, her brother moves to Chile, and her mother tries to keep herself and her shop afloat.
