In Haiti: Voices from Port-au-Prince + Panel & Q&A

Running time: 44 mins

Genre: Documentary

Release Date: 02/06/2026

Set in Port-au-Prince, In Haiti is a powerful 44-minute documentary offering an intimate portrait of everyday life amid political instability and uncertainty. Through close encounters with residents navigating daily survival – and a rare, on-the-ground conversation with controversial gang leader Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier – the film explores resilience, faith, and community in a city too often reduced to headlines.

Blending observational footage with immersive imagery, In Haiti brings audiences closer to the lived realities of contemporary Haiti, foregrounding voices and perspectives rarely seen on screen.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A moderated by Carine Hejazi (Haitian Support Group), with director Tomasz Kunicki, and Haitian Chamber members Wilford Marous and Michelet Romulus.

Organised by Tapokea, a UK-based independent production and distribution company focused on socially engaged cinema and underrepresented perspectives.
