TWICE INTO OBLIVION

TWICE INTO OBLIVION

NYC PREMIERE In 1937 more than 20,000 Haitian people living in the Dominican Republic were systematically murdered on orders of the state. A theater troupe brings together actors from both sides of this genocide to reckon with this horrific event, recreating the past in order to process it and heal. This provocative and honest film is a collaborative effort that radically and playfully changes the documentary format.. – Murtada Elfadl
