The Agronomist

The Agronomist - Plot Summary

The Agronomist is a celebration of an extraordinary man - journalist, broadcaster and human rights activist Jean
Dominique - and his tireless fight against injustice and oppression. The story documents Dominique's
uncompromising crusade for liberty and democracy in the vibrant country of Haiti. Demme shot many hours of
footage with Dominique over a period of fifteen years. Their joint project was tragically cut short in April 2000 when,
in the turmoil leading up to elections in Haiti, Jean Dominique was assassinated outside his radio station. In Creole,
French and English with English subtitles.
