From the venue:

In 2013, the Dominican Republic stripped the citizenship of anyone with Haitian parents, rendering over 200,000 people without nationality. This feature documentary is a cinematic journey through the day-to-day lives of people directly impacted by these new laws. The film interweaves these present day stories with dramatic personal accounts of the 1937 Parsley Massacre (over 30,000 Haitians killed at the hands of Dominican soldiers). “Stateless” hopes to provide audiences with a spellbinding visual narrative that reflects on the larger questions of how imposed borders, citizenship and racial identity define us and may seal our fate.

Followed by a zoom talk with the film’s director, Michèle Stephenson.
Presented by Spelman College Documentary Filmmaking Major and Third World Newsreel.
