An interesting video from the 1940s about Haiti. I like how one of the songs used in the short film is actually one of Sidney Bechet's Haitian-inspired records. The information shared is mostly basic, introductory facts and observations, but some nice views of Milot and the Citadel. The narrator is actually quite positive in his review of Henri Christophe, and Haiti's contributions to the history of the Americas, particularly in the spread of freedom and the Louisiana Purchase.
