I found this documentary an exemplary compilation of the event that took place during the Haitian Revolution. After watching it I was mostly fascinated with how Toussaint L'Ouverture managed to go from slave to military and political leader. He became a great inspiration to many slaves who took arms to defend their homeland and gain freedom.
I really enjoyed learning more about the Haitian Revolution. I was raised in the Dominican Republic, but left around age 12 & I do not really remember learning much about our neighboring country's history.Not even here in the US. I found it interesting that they compared Toussaint to George Washington.
This was on eof the best posts I had watched earlier in the semester. I couldnt really STOP watching, but it makes you question how humans can be so cruel to one another. L'Ouverture was a special person to have risen so high up.
