Poto Mitan:
From the filmmaker:
|
Told through the compelling lives of five courageous Haitian women workers, Poto Mitan gives the global economy a human face. Weaving Haiti’s story within her own, each woman’s narrative explains particular aspects of Haiti’s contemporary crisis – inhumane working and living conditions, violence, poverty, lack of education, and health care – all triggered by neoliberal globalization. And while Poto Mitan offers an in-depth understanding of Haiti, its focus on women’s subjugation, worker exploitation, poverty, and resistance demonstrates that these are global struggles.
