The Agronomist: Jean Dominique

If you have yet to see this film, please make it your business to.

A superb doc about the Haitian journalist, activist, radio station owner and gigantic personality that was Jean Dominique. His approach to journalism resembled more of relentless detective work while his uncompromising attitude in the pursuit of truth and justice led Haitians to recognize him as a national hero. Alongside his wife Michele Montas, the film allows us to see Dominique at his essence, the agronomist who believed in the power of his people. This film helped me have a better understanding of the meaning of journalism in Haiti as opposed to elsewhere. Some noteworthy collaborators include Edwidge Danticat as a producer and score by Wyclef Jean.
