Film: Where Are the Reparations (2026)*
------------------------------------
The Short Film and Cinepoetry video weaponizes rhythm against silence. Set to a searing spoken-word track, it traces four centuries of colonial debt; from the cotton fields of the Carolina to the ashes of Black Wall Street, from Haiti's independence tax to the reparation claims rising across the Caribbean today. Through stark imagery, hard-cut editing, and unflinching direct-to-camera address, the video collapses past and present into a single, urgent pulse. This is not a history lesson set to beat. It is a demand set to light. The ledger is open. The interest is growing. And the invoice is finally due.
My hope is that the audience, regardless of geography or background recognize that reparations are not a regional issue or a racial niche. They are a global reckoning with how wealth is built, who profits, and who pays. This cinepoetry is my testimony. It is my invoice. It is my prayer and my protest, encoded in light and sound.
