Dear French and Francophone Studies Students,

Please consider joining us for the virtual film screening of Etant Dupain’s Madan Sara: The Power of Haitian Women, followed by a Q&A session with the film director.

In Kreyòl with English subtitles, the film tells the stories of Haitian women known as “Madan Sara” who work at the margins of society and yet make Haiti’s economy run despite the lack of infrastructure and state subsidies. See the film’s official website for the trailer.

Here, and in the attached poster, is the info:
