Where education advances, society rises
HAITIAN DIASPORA
Haitian Diaspora
The Haitian Diaspora is not a footnote to history, it is a force shaping the present and the future.
Across cities, generations, and borders, Haitian voices continue to create, build, resist, and re-imagine belonging. Yet many of these stories remain fragmented, misunderstood, or unheard beyond the communities that carry them.
DiasporaMart is developing a documentary project dedicated to the Haitian Diaspora, not as a nostalgic look backward, but as a living, evolving narrative of identity, resilience, and contribution.
Perspective
Project Perspective & Approach
This documentary is conceived as a thoughtful, character-driven exploration of diaspora life in the U.S., grounded in authenticity and ethical storytelling.
Rather than offering a single storyline or prescriptive message, the project focuses on shared themes relevant to American society today:
-
belonging and identity across generations,
-
the transmission of memory within immigrant families,
-
and the role of diaspora communities in shaping local and national spaces.
The approach prioritizes listening, trust-building, and collaboration, allowing participants to engage on their own terms while preserving narrative integrity and creative discretion.
