The Alliance Française invites you, on October 15 at 4 pm, to the screening of Etant Dupain's documentary "Madan Sara" at the Alliance française de Philadelphie. The screening will be followed by a conversation in English, French and Haitian Creole.
This is a donation based event. Suggested donation: $10
The film centers on the informal status of women in the Haitian society and their importance to that same society and how it functions. Madan Saras deliver goods throughout the country and most times sell their goods in the public marketplaces to support their families. However, it is dangerous work because they are subject to being robbed, disruption on the street which holds up commerce, and other dangers. Most times they are not protected by the authorities.
