00:00We have Mr. Torsainville on the line.

00:09I don't understand who this is for.

00:11When it comes to talking about Jean-Claude Duvalier,

00:14people only say bad things about this man.

00:17Anyway, it seems to me that under his presidency,

00:21it was much better than it is today.

00:25Listen to him!

00:27But today, Haiti is a country where yesterday will always be better than tomorrow.

00:41Grandma, it's me.

00:43There will be no recovery fund.

00:45Stomach cancer. I'm going to die.

00:48Next time, you'll bring me griot.

00:51Cooking for someone is a gesture of love.

00:56My Sunday meal was always maïmoule.

00:59It's the only food we ate.

01:02This is my Bible.

01:03There are all the Gospels in it.

01:05The Gospel of Rijonjon, the Gospel of Lambi,

01:08and of course, the Gospel of the griot.

01:11Now I want you to tell me the rest.

01:16Death!

01:18It will come for us.

01:20In my prison, it's all the times

01:22when you forced me to go get your belt in the wardrobe and hit me with it.

01:25My sister gave in to him.

01:27Now you're the one giving in to him.

01:29It's looking at you.

01:30Everything that moves in my kitchen is looking at me.

01:39Soup Joumou is what the slaves in Haiti ate

01:42the day they took their independence,

01:44when they overcame the French colonists.

01:46All the courage of our ancestors was in there.

01:48The one who eats it becomes stronger

01:50and frees himself from his sufferings.

01:53It's not what we eat at our last meal that matters.

01:56It's what we share.
