Vertieres I, II, III (2015)

The tenderness of the initial images presents young girls of a school class praying, in a chorus, verses that thank the Lord for “all the wonders performed”. The Battle of Vertières took place on November 18, 1803 in the former French colony Saint-Domingue, now Haïti, and resulted in the independence of the first free nation of Latin America and the Caribbean.
