I was extremely impressed by this documentary because it told the story about such a progressive revolution that, until today, I had never even heard about it. The Haitian Revolution should receive more publicity in foreign places such as the States considering that Haiti receives a lot of missionary relief and government funding from the US. Regardless, I am very glad you placed this on your blog Professor Holbrook, this mini movie was very informative and exciting.
This Documentary was very eyeopening to me. I learn a lot about the Haitian Revolution and i am so proud to see how my ancestors fought for there freedom. it is also devastating to me to see that Haitians are in a horrible situation today. But by watching this documentary on the Haitian Revolution it struck an inspiration inside of me like never before. Haiti will one day spring up to where it used to be by Gods help.

Very interesting video. The topic of Haitian Revolution was something new and unknown to me until I had the opportunity to watch this video.
It is the first time that I study something related to the history of Haiti, and I have to admit that I find very interesting topics.
I find it amazing how the Haitians revolted against the French conquerors to abolish slavery, and also to be independent as a country.
Althought the situation of Haiti was different from the story of other Latin American countries, we can find some similarities in other countries, like in Mexico (The Mexican Revolution), when the country stood up and fought against the French, because they did not want to be dominated by them.
wow this video was very sad. I have always heard about slavery but this video truly opened my eyes. They were treated so bad life if they were not humans. The things the slaves did to eliminate slavery was astonishing. This video was very informative and the visuals made it very realistic.
This video was very informative and interesting to me. For example, this revolution that was organized by a true leader, grasp me by surprise. I always thought that all slaves were treated the same during this time, but Toussaint Louverture had a different opportunity. Due to his education and distinct way of thinking is that the Haitian Revolution took place. I think that this video showed a side of history that many may not know about which is truly impressive

This documentary really taught me about many things that I didn't know. I know tell my friends about what I learned in this video.
I’m not very familiar with the history of Haiti but I, myself felt happy that they fought so hard for their freedom. Haiti is shown in this video, by standing up for themselves and fighting back after so many years of being treated as slaves. I found this video very informative because I always thought that slaves were treated all the same, under atrocious conditions, but Toussaint Louveture had a differnet opportunity.
I never knew that there was such an impactful revolution that occurred in Haiti. This video taught me that a lot and was definitely one of my favorites.
This documentary, I thought it was going to be boring at first but it really caught my attention. It was very cruel the way the slaves were being treated. I liked the fact that Toussant Louverture stepped forward and became the leader of the slave rebellion.
The first time I heard the name Toussaint Louverture I was in a high school classroom studying American History. I watched this video having some previous knowledge about the Haitian Revolution but it did shed light on new information I had not known.
Quite the irony, Toussaint had to convince his followers to go back to work in the fields. Though, it seems that they did want to work there.
What a great video! I enjoyed watching it in class. Because of this video I now know many things about the Haitian Revolution that I had no idea of. It was very well made and kept me interested. Thank you for playing it in class Professor!
I feel very proud of the Haitians, because they stand up for their freedom. I know that Haiti right now it is one of the poorest country, but they have a free country!
Wow. What a great and informative video. I learn so much by watching everything you post on your blog. I had never learned about the Haitian Revolution before in any class I've ever taken which is kind of sad. It was such a bloody and hard-fought war. I wish I had learned about this sooner because as someone had commented before, the US does do a lot of relief work and government funding in Haiti. Knowing the history of the country before would have been nice.

This documentary was very interesting. I did not know anything about the Haitian Revolution until I took this class. It's very sad the way slaves were treated. It's great how Toussaint Louverture transformed the slave society into an independent state.
This documentary was engaging and thought-provoking. I was completely ignorant to the history behind the Haitian Revolution before I saw this video. It amazed me how ruthless but courageous the Haitians were when they rebelled against the French in order to acquire their independence.
It's incredible to think that the white leaders would deny the simple trade Toussaint was asking for in exchange for the lives of thousands of plantation owners. It's beyond belief how selfish humans can be.
It was great to see everyone's awareness about the Haitian revolution.
I have always liked how these videos re-enact scenes of leisure time like white people drinking their tea in Haiti. It makes it mores realistic and maintains the viewers' interest. Haiti had many resources but the exploitation of its population and conflicts affected it to the point it is the poorest country in America. I hope one day they advance and catch up with the rest of countries at least to have a better lifestyle.
Great documentary. I had little prior knowledge about Haiti's history and did not know anything about the Haitian Revolution prior to this video. I love these type of documentaries that reenact scenes from history because they are more entertaining to watch. It was also cool that a FIU professor was involved as well.
I had to watch this video again because I liked it so much. This video made me more interested in Haitian history and I have found myself looking up more information about it on my own, which doesn't happen too often.
