Film About Aristide and Haiti is Playing Now in San Francisco
Nicolas Rossier's film "Aristide and the Endless Revolution" is showing in San Francisco from December 9th through 15th. The movie examines the 2004 coup
d'etat in Haiti, as well as the systemic violence and human rights
violations that have erupted under the interim government. An interview with the
deposed president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Pretoria, South Africa, is
juxtaposed with the views of a wide range of supporters and critics,
including US Assistant Secretary of State Roger Noriega. The film exposes the international
interests that are concerned with suppressing popular democracy and ending the
reforms Aristide was capable of making - despite embargoes and the need to
service a debt for loans Haiti never received.
The film is showing at the Roxie Cinema at 3117 16th Street (at Valencia Street) in San Francisco. Showtimes are each evening at 6:15, 8:00, and 9:45pm. There are additional matinees on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 and 4:00pm.
