Danny Glover Directs A Slave Rebellion

I would love to see this movie. The French didn't capture Toussaint L'ouverture. They invited him on a ship to negotiate a treaty and kipnapped him and took him to France. They made a great General who should be mentioned before Napoleon a footnote in the history books. Blacks don't know why Haiti is constantly ridiculed and stigmatized. It's not by accident. Good luck Mr Glover raising the funds. Hollywood and the powers that be would never let this movie come to light.

Haiti help the US & Simon Bolivar and they turned their backs and isolated the country because we're blacks. The real history must be told.

AS A AFRICAN AMERICAN I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS, JUST TO SEE HOW IT WAS BACK THEN. GO GLOVER

I can't wait to see this movie, as a Haitian woman producer. The government did not provde any fund us to produce anything relating to our history. I just can't wait to see this movie.

I can't believe that Glover, who has reaped all the rewards and benefits of this country, can befriend a very vocal enemy of the United States and it's President. How can he accept 18 million from that same enemy? Chavez has called our President the "devil". He denies that the Holocaust ever took place. He supports Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian President who is shipping arms to Iraq to kill American soldiers. Shame...Shame on Danny Glover. I'll never watch another one of his movies.

I am overwhelmed with joy and so proud that Danny Glover has decided to direct the movie regarding the slave rebellion in Haiti. This is a story that is over due to be told in this day and age. The Haitian revolution in itself is a part of history that needs to be taught in our school systems and should be shared with the world. I can not reiterate how this is a topic long overdue. During Black History month I strongly feel, the history and revolution of Haiti should be discussed in the media as well as in schools and documents displayed in museums. Today some of our black brothers and sisters have no idea that Haiti was the first Black country to get there independence in 1804. If one takes the time to absorb the truth {a small island defeated three powerful countries France, England and Spain to gain there freedom}. I strongly feel that is why Haiti is in the condition of poverty and misery and that is my personal opinion, (why help a black populated island that gained independence from such powerful countries) till this day in the twentieth century the grudge, racism and hate (call it what you want) still burns strong against Haiti. I thank you Danny for standing strong regardless of what is said in the media for agreeing to produce and directing such a great and historical piece of History.

Danny Glover is such a wonderful actor! This film will be great. He was one of the few famous people to speak out against the illegal overthrow of President Aristide. Haiti has suffered so much violence because of the coup.

i am ecited about this film please dont make the score rap it has to be like this www.myspace.com/earthmanmusic

As a Haitian-American artist, I devoted a lot of my paintings subjects on The Epopee of " Le Premier des Noirs " meaning The First of the Blacks. So, Go Danny, your name will be remembered in history for such a project. I don't see Why Danny can't play Toussaint himself. Good luck !

Toussaint will make a wonderful focus for a feature film. However, I hope the film maker's research is better than their press releases indicate. Toussaint Louverture was never named president for life, let alone elected. Elections, in Haiti, did not occur until much later in that nation's history.

While Toussaint Louverture, Dessalines, Christophe, and other leaders, threw off the French yoke, they immediately did their best to return Haiti's masses to their role on plantations...basically that of slaves.

A rose by any other color is still a rose. Toussaint, and his associates were interested in power, not the freedom of Haiti's masses

IF THAT PROJECT GET OFF THE GROUND, THAT WILL BE PERFECT. TOSSAINT LOUVERTURE WAS A GREAT GENERAL, HIS LIFE OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THE ASS WHIPPING OF THE BEST TROUPES THAT NAPOLEON CAN THROW AT HIM, LONG DESERVED THE BIG SCREEN. VERY PROUD OF MY BROTHER DANNY CLOVER FOR EXPOSING THE COURAGES OF THE HAITIANS NATION.
