THE AGRONOMIST

Tells the story of Haitian national hero, journalist, and freedom fighter Jean Dominique, whom Demme first met and filmed in 1986. As owner and operator of his nation's oldest and only free radio station, Dominique was frequently at odds with his country's various repressive governments and spent much of the 80's and early 90's in exile in New York, where Demme continued to interview him over the years. Dominique fought tirelessly against his country's overwhelming injustice, oppression, and poverty, but it was his shocking and still-unsolved assassination in April of 2000 that gave the director the impetus to assemble more than a decade's worth of material into a celebration of this dynamic man's life and legacy.

  • "Un uomo e i suoi ideali. Così potremmo presentare il documentario di Jonathan Demme, storia di Jean Dominique, un uomo, un giornalista, un laureato in agraria, che, innamorato di Haiti, il suo paese, acquista una radio e diventa la voce del popolo. Radio Haiti Inter dal 1968 esprime le sue idee in lingua creola, nella moltitudine di emittenti francofone, e propone un punto di vista audace e scomodo, fino a causare più di un esilio per il suo ideatore. Affiancato dalla moglie Michele Montas, Dominique combatte per la democrazia e per le ingiustizie della dittatura verso gli haitiani, con il cuore e con le parole. (Mymovies)."
  • "Inspirado en el trabajo del periodista haitiano y activista por los derechos humanos Jean Dominique. El cineasta Jonathan Demme rodó innumerables horas de material a lo largo de 15 años. Este proyecto conjunto entre Demme y Dominique, fue interrumpido trágicamente en abril de 2000 cuando, bajo la agitación previa a las elecciones, Jean Dominque fue asesinado en su emisora de radio. "The agronomist" no es una investigación sobre su asesinato, que aún hoy continúa, sino un retrato de su extraordinaria vida, su cruzada personal y profesional, su pasión por la historia de su país, así como los testimonios de su familia, amigos y compañeros que trabajaron con él en su sueño de incrementar la participación del pueblo en el proceso político y hacer prosperar la democracia en Haití."

  • ""C'est Jean Dominique, pionnier du journalisme en Haïti et défenseur des droits de l'homme, qui a inspiré à Jonathan Demme le documentaire "The agronomist". Le metteur en scène a tourné de nombreuses heures d'entretiens avec Jean Dominique, sur une période de plus de 15 ans.
