My Father's Land is a feature documentary, which
explores the life of Papa Jah, a humble Haitian Bushman. Papa Jah has
lived in the Bahamas for 40 years, in a marginalized community called the Mud.
As a strict deportation policy and growing xenophobia sweeps the country, news
from Haiti arrives that his 103 three year old father has taken ill. Papa Jah
risks his tentative legal immigration status, and returns to Haiti, the land he
left behind, in hopes to reunite with his father; before its too
late. Juxtaposed against the strikingly rich visual texture of the
Caribbean, this travel adventure story entertains through humor, intimate
cultural spaces and vivid landscapes, while touching on socioeconomic
complexities of immigration, culture and identity.
