Description

A powerful act of historical reclamation, The Forgotten Occupation: Jim Crow Goes to Haiti unearths the buried legacy of the U.S. occupation of Haiti and the racial violence it carried overseas. Through filmmaker Alain Martin’s deeply personal letter to his grandfather, intimate family memory collides with archival testimony and political history, revealing how segregation, military power, and anti-Black imperial policy reshaped a nation already fighting to protect its hard-won freedom. Urgent, illuminating, and emotionally resonant, this documentary confronts a forgotten chapter whose consequences still echo today.
