"Krik? Krak! Tales of a Nightmare"
1997
Directed by Vanyoska Gert and Jac Avila

An innovative feature set in Haiti which blends documentary and fiction scenes to delve into the tormented history of the Black world: Haiti, the terrible experience under Papa Doc Duvalier, and the work of his infamous paramilitary force, the Tontons Macoutes. "Remarkably insightful, original, compassionate picture of the eternal Haiti" (Graham Greene). "Unflinching. Passionate. Creativity and daring in shooting, editing and music are matched by the depth of feeling for the Haitian people" (Jonathan Demme).  78 minutes.
