This film aired in France in February as a 2 part series, with Jimmy Jean-Louis as Toussaint Louverture. What ever happened to Danny Glover's version ? |

Maybe I should withhold judgement until I can see the entire film in English or at least with subs,but from the clips I saw Euros in the fore ground,I am guessing this will be from a Euro's P.O.V  |

Not the movie but a PBS docu-drama

A excellent docudrama by PBS, which is a surprise to me; for they like to play it some what safe, at least here in the Bay Area ! If the French T.V. series is as good as this PBS production then you have a winner on your hands. From what I read from the article it has won awards & is seen as a very good production. Toussaint Louverture was a very complex man in a complex situation of the times. So any portrayal that paints him in black & white terms are missing the mark !
