London Migration Film Festival presents Freda, followed by a panel discussion.
Freda lives with her family in a poor neighbourhood of Port-au-Prince. They make ends meet thanks to their small street shop. Faced with precarious living conditions and the rise of violence in Haiti, each of them wonders whether to stay or leave. Freda wants to believe in the future of her country.
A beautiful and subtle examination of the many reasons people, and Haitians specifically, choose to leave or that ultimately drive them to stay. A uniquely Haitian story of political optimism, economic migration, and violence told through the eyes of three very different, but equally powerful, women.
