Stateless Screening with Filmmaker Michèle Stephenson

In 1937, tens of thousands of Haitians and Dominicans of Haitian descent were exterminated by the Dominican army on the basis of anti-black racism. Fast-forward to 2013: the Dominican Republic’s Supreme Court stripped the citizenship of anyone with Haitian parents, retroactive to 1929, rendering more than 200,000 people stateless. Director Michèle Stephenson’s new documentary follows the grassroots campaign of a young attorney named Rosa Iris, as she challenges electoral corruption and fights to protect the right to citizenship for all people.

Presented by The Documentary Program at Spelman College, Dominicans Love Haitians Movement, The Atlanta Documentary Society, The Documentary Forum at CCNY, and Third World Newsreel.

From fundraising to editing, cameras, and lighting, to talks about the making of films, we have videos to keep you learning your craft and hearing about filmmakers' experiences—free virtual training.
