An award-winning documentary made secretly by a collective of Haitian and American filmmakers, Bitter Cane provides deep insights into foreign exploitation in Haiti that remain all too relevant today.
“[Williams] quietly blows up and rebuilds the established language of cinema”—Screen Daily
A staggeringly original voice in modern avant-garde cinema, director Edouardo Williams follows The Human Surge (2016) with this woozy, orphic sequel about bands of friends wandering through a rain-slicked, windy, 360-degree vision of late-capitalist reality. But as they try to distance themselves from their depressing jobs, the groups find themselves lured towards the elusive mystery of new possibilities in this radically immersive, continent-spanning film from one of Argentina’s most experimental directors.
