LA BELLE VIE (THE GOOD LIFE)
Satuday, June 11, 2016 @ 8PM
La Belle Vie (The Good Life) is a story of self-discovery as Haitian-American filmmaker, Rachelle Salnave, ventures to confront the grace, and simultaneously the unseemliness, of her native ideologies.
Born in New York City and raised by an upper class patriotic Haitian family forced to flee their island nation in adulthood, Rachelle comes of age in the midst of crossfire between two distinct cultures. The beliefs of her nurturing parents, the products of noble family histories, juxtaposed with the truth of her humble working class reality in Harlem, set the stage for an inner conflict that ultimately compels her to search for her own truth.
With the proliferation of political turmoil, poverty, and the 5th year anniversary of the earthquake that shattered Haiti, this film ultimately documents the filmmakers burning desire to find a collective of people who manage to share similar identity issues but who turn love for their country as motivation to create change.
