Dual Citizen

Overview

In 2012, the Haitian government amended the country’s constitution to allow dual citizenship. Filmmaker Rachelle Salnave is eager to reclaim her Haitian citizenship, but the process is far from simple: To do so, her father, Edouard, must reclaim his first before she can. Edouard, a New York Republican who has not set foot in Haiti in more than 50 years, reluctantly agrees to help his daughter, which means engaging with a country and government he has kept at arm’s length since his family’s political exile in the 1960s. This humorous and heartfelt documentary is both a father-daughter road trip and a meditation on what it means to hold two national identities.
