Liberty in a Soup
“Discover how a soup survives the Haitian Revolution to become a symbol of freedom.”
2015•1h 8m•Released
Documentary
Every New Year, and in celebration of their Independence, Haitian families gather together to feast in honor of a line of ancestors that fought for their freedom. The centerpiece of the festivity is the joumou soup—a traditional soup dating back centuries ago. The joumou soup is a concretization of war and victory, oppression and emancipation, and the deeply rooted celebratory traditions of the Haitian culture.
