Toussaint Louverture, a two-part, action-packed epic film, depicts the life of the Haitian leader who led the first successful slave revolt in world history, defeating Napoleon Bonaparte and winning independence for Haiti from France.
Known for his military genius and political acumen, Louverture, and the success of the Haitian Revolution that he led, established Haiti as the first black free nation in the western hemisphere, and rocked the institution of slavery throughout the “New World.” This is a pre-screening event for Tim Reid’s Legacy Media Institute (LMI) International Film Festival in Petersburg, Oct 17 – 19.
