SUMMARY:Haiti Film Fest Pop Up | The Forgotten Occupation: Jim Crow Goes to Haiti
DESCRIPTION:Haiti Cultural Exchange and the team behind “The Forgotten Occupation: Jim Crow Goes to Haiti” present a special community screening of this pivotal documentary followed by a discussion with filmmaker Alain Martin.\nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\nDoors: 6:00pm\nScreening: 6:30pm \nThe Brooklyn Children’s Museum Theater\n145 Brooklyn Ave\nBrooklyn\, NY 11213 \n–\nFREE \nDonations welcome\nRegistration required.\nFollow this link to RSVP on Eventbrite » \n—\nAbout the Film \n100 years after the Haitian Revolution\, the people of Haiti find themselves once again having to defend their liberty\, this time against a powerful neighbor: the United States. \nWhat happens when the oppressor becomes your salvation? Through a letter to his grandfather\, a Haitian filmmaker revisits the U.S. occupation of Haiti\, unraveling the paradox of a man who longed for American rule and a nation scarred by it. Blending intimate memory with sweeping history\, the film confronts exile\, love\, and the uneasy truths at the heart of freedom. \nDirected by Haitian filmmaker Alain Martin and executive produced by New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay (Bad Feminist). \n—\nAbout HCX | Haiti Film Fest Pop Up Series \nThis special film screening is part of the Haiti Film Fest Pop Up Series offering more intimate opportunities to engage with the filmmakers and deepen connection to the themes explored on screen. \nHaiti Film Fest is the only New York City film festival devoted to Haiti-focused cinema and Haitian filmmakers. Launched in 2011\, the festival screens motion pictures in many genres and formats\, ranging from documentary shorts to extended narrative film. Presenting these films to a broad audience\, Haiti Film Fest is also an opportunity for the Haitian community to see itself represented in this vital and prevalent medium. \n\n \n  \n  \nThis event is presented in collaboration & with support from the Brooklyn Children’s Museum\, Diaspora Community Services\, Kinfolk Tech\, the Fund for Haitian Women\, and NYC Council Member Rita Joseph. \n
