In 1937, tens of thousands of Haitians and Dominicans of Haitian descent were exterminated by the Dominican army on the basis of anti-black racism. Fast-forward to 2013, the Dominican republic’s supreme court stripped the citizenship of anyone with Haitian parents, retroactive to 1929, rendering more than 200,000 people stateless. Director michèle Stephenson’s new documentary follows the grassroots campaign of a young attorney named rosa iris, as she challenges electoral corruption and fights to protect the right to citizenship for all people."

In partnership with POV & Rada Studios, In Cultured Co. will host a community screening of ‘STATELESS’ followed by a discussion with Rosa Iris, Michèle Stephenson, Altagracia Jean-Joseph, and Manuel Dandre.
