​Please join the Lower Hudson Valley Democratic Socialists Of America’s International Commission for a screening of the documentary “The Forgotten Occupation”. We will be joined by the director of the documentary, Alain Martin, for a Q&A and discussion segment at the end of the screening! The documentary revisits the U.S. occupation of Haiti through a letter to Alain’s grandfather and unravels the paradox of a man who longed for American rule and a nation scarred by it. Blending intimate memory with sweeping history, the film confronts exile, love, and the uneasy truths at the heart of freedom.

Proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to an organization supporting our local Haitian immigrant communities, which has recently come under increased threat with the Supreme Court’s ruling on Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The price of admission for the event is a *suggested donation* amount of $15. As long as there is space at the event, nobody will be turned away due to lack of funds.
