Movie Story
The story centers on Haitian revolution hero Toussaint L'Ouverture, who led one of the few successful slave uprisings in history. The slaves defeated French, Spanish and British armies and established the first independent black republic, naming Louverture president for life. He was captured and imprisoned by the French and died a year later.

Reader's Reviews
I think it would be a great film project. The question is, why South Africa Not Haiti? If Glover wants to write about the Haitian revolution, he should also shoot the movie in Haiti. If he is uncomfortable with the country, why telling us about our History.
