Quotes:
Interviewer Jonathan (In USA):
[asked while Jean was in exile in NYC, voice offscreen] Do you have any doubt, Jean, that Radio Haiti will return to the air?
Jean Dominique:
Any doubt? Not the shadow of the doubt. Not a shadow. I am sure. I am positive. Jonathan, you cannot kill the truth. You cannot kill justice. You cannot kill what we are fighting for. Participation of the citizens through the community business.

The Passion of the Journalist, 19 May 2006
Author:
russnrose1127 from United States
In my search for a movie to review in my Latin American class, I came
across "The Agronomist" at my local video store. Not knowing much about
Latin America in general, I was not aware of what went on in Haiti -
then, and even now. This was such a powerful film portraying Jean
Dominique, the Haitian journalist who spoke out against successive
dictatorships on Radio Haiti. I feel he resembles how Martin Luther
King, in the way he spoke to become the "voice of the people" and his
unending passion to pursue freedom, opportunity and human rights for
the Haitian peasantry.I recall one part of the film that caught my attention. The foreign
soldiers scene discussing "The Battle of Vertieres" that occurred on
November 18, 1803. Composed of escaped Haitian slaves form the Haitian
Revolutionary Army,demolish Napoleon's Colonial Forces. Here, Jean
Dominique's father tells him when he's just a young boy seeing soldiers
pass his house, "You are from this land, you are not French, you are
not British, you are not American. You are Haitian!" I feel Dominique's
passion to fight for human rights from the elite were rooted in him by
his father.Dominique stood for the values of open inquiry, justice and freedom.
The documentary provides the world with the insight of this fearless
man who wanted to do good in the world. I hope someday his assassins
are found and justice is served.
