The Agronomist Dir.Jonathan Demme US 2003  From director Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs, Stop Making Sense) comes this riveting documentary that tells the story of Jean Dominique, Haitian radio journalist and human rights activist. From the 1960's until his assassination in 2000, Dominique ran a hugely popular independent station, Radio Haiti Inter, which was the first to broadcast in Creole, the language of the poor majority. Over decades of political turmoil, Radio inter was subject to serious violence and harassment and Dominique and his politically active wife spent much of the 80's and early 90's in exile in the U.S. Demme addresses U.S. intervention in Haiti, and also traces the rise and fall of Jean Bertrand (SP) Aristide. Through it all, we see Dominique, an intensely charismatic and inspiring character, fearlessly and tirelessly championing the rights of Haiti's farmers and laborers, while promoting democracy and its core value; free speech.
