POTO MITAN: HAITIAN WOMEN, PILLARS OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

"Poto Mitan" is the portrait of five women 10 years after "Looking for Life" was made. The impact of globalization, labor relations and gender relations remain the topics explored in this film. "I support "Poto Mitan" because it offers us a rare glimpse into how Haitian women in the struggle understand their complex conditions and what they are doing for themselves." - Gina Ulysse, Haitian-American scholar/activist/performer. By Renée Bergan and Mark Schuller, US/Haiti, 50 min, 2009, Creole, English w/English subtitles. Shown with Looking for Life.
