#39-25 Haitian Filmmaker – Alexandrine Benjamin, producer of N Ap Boule

Alexandrine Benjamin holds a master’s degree in film production from the University of Greenwich in England.  She  tells the story of how she made the short, award-winning film N Ap Boule for her thesis project, and the saga of filming in Haiti during a disastrous and chaotic time. She summarizes the problems Haiti has due to its long history of international interference and the distrust and anxiety that permeate the whole society as a result. She recommends trauma therapy for everyone in the country. 

Interview and production by Suki Wessling (host of the podcast The Babblery, which will air a longer version); WINGS series producer, Frieda Werden.
