Film still from “Fatal Assistance”
On November 3, Duke University’s Forum for Scholars and Publics will host two events—a lunchtime conversation and a screening—with award-winning Haitian filmmaker Raoul Peck. Both events are free and open to the public.
Lunch with Raoul Peck
Monday, November 3, 12–1:15 p.m.
Forum for Scholars & Publics, 011 Old Chemistry, Duke West Campus
415 Chapel Dr., Durham, North Carolina (Directions)
A lunchtime discussion that will focus on decolonizing film and the difference between representations of Africa and the Caribbean by “outsiders” and “insiders.” A light lunch will be served.
Screening of Fatal Assistance
Monday, November 3; reception at 5:30 p.m., screening at 6:15 p.m.
Nasher Museum of Art
2001 Campus Dr., Durham, North Carolina (Directions)
Peck’s documentary charts a two-year journey into the post-disaster reconstruction process in Haiti, revealing the complexities and failures of humanitarian aid following the 2010 earthquake. A reception will precede the screening; following the film, Peck and author Jonathan Katz will participate in a Q&A session. Watch a trailer for Fatal Assistance.
