Neg chive yo
by François Gasner
FRANCE - 2016 - 52 MINUTES
synopsis
Based on his family history and his evangelical education, the director questions and explores the figure of the artist Samba, this man with dreadlocks placed among the outcasts by Haitian society. Gasner has chosen to look differently at those who are stigmatized and whom his society rejects, “the men with the hair”. To the rhythm of their “root” music, we discover a humanist philosophy that works to maintain traditions and this strong identity, anchored in a history where slavery and voodoo still haunt this part of the island of Hispaniola.
