Watch Paul Robeson in Emperor Jones, a play loosely inspired by Henri Christophe. The film is nothing special, but certainly worth watching because of Robeson's talent. The jazz is also worth checking out for those interested in such things. The Public Archive has written more about Robeson's relationship with Haiti here while Charles Forsdick and Christian Høgsbjerg have written extensively about an important Russian filmmaker's unfinished project about the Haitian Revolution that included like-minded leftist Robeson.
