Invite students to examine realities in Haiti with a focus on the film’s topics: the Ligue des jeunesses populaires, Duvalier (Papa Doc), Tonton Macoutes and the Parti d’entente populaire (PEP). Then open up the discussion with these questions: What is Haiti’s future? Can tourism, as envisaged by the current government, be part of the solution?
