Diaspora Power (2026)

Through intimate personal stories, the documentary explores the realities of integration and systemic racism alongside the solidarity, community networks, and cultural connections that sustained Haitian immigrants as they established new lives in Quebec. Together, these individual experiences form a collective portrait of a diaspora determined to maintain its roots while becoming an integral part of Quebec society. Diaspora Power is both an act of remembrance and transmission, honoring the people whose lives, labor, and resilience helped shape the social and cultural fabric of contemporary Quebec.
