Novel filmmaker and Haitian historian Dudley Alexis of epyllion studios announces Liberty in a Soup Premiere at Little Haiti Cultural Center, a one-hour documentary that looks back at events during the Haitian Revolution to highlight the significant ritual embodied in the eating of “Soup Joumou” on New Year’s Day. Offering an insightful view of the anti-slavery insurrection that gridlocked the former French colony of Saint Domingue, Liberty in a Soup chronicles the slave uprising that led to the founded sovereign state of Haiti and the subsequent establishment of Soup Joumou which annually acknowledges its independence. “Throughout this process, I wanted to sharply focus on telling the story of the Revolution in a way that illuminated its importance and paid homage to those who contributed to its insertion into history books,” said Alexis. Join us at the premiere of this monumental documentary at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex on Sunday, October 9th from 6-9pm, Liberty in A SOUP challenges the negative stereotype of a nation that should stand valiant and proud in history.
