A Haitian shouts down a president. Brazil's ghosts answer back.
On March 16, 2020, in Brasília, an anonymous and unknown Haitian challenged the head of the nation: “Bolsonaro, it’s over. You are not president anymore.” This film poem counterpoints this situation with two military operations of Minustah (United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti), commanded by Brazil, on july 6, 2005, and december 22, 2006, in Cité Soleil.
