“The Price of Sugar” is a documentary about human trafficking, and Haitian slave labor in the Dominican Republic.  This was a very interesting piece.  It revealed a lot of issues about the Haitians cutting sugar cane in the DR.  The film focused on a priest, Father Christopher, who works with the Haitians in the DR to improve their lives.  Although the film focused around this one man, I believe that it was done very well as it showed his leadership role and the way that Haitians followed and supported him and how some Dominican’s opposed him as well as the Haitians.  Following the film was a discussion led by two Ithaca College professors, Alicia Swords and Shianne Osterreich.  In the discussion, we discussed, among other things, a cease and desist letter that FLEFF received from sugar corporations, forbidding us to show the film.  Clearly, this letter was not very effective.  It’s nice to know the corporation is ashamed of itself and doesn’t want people to realize the inhumanity they have toward their workers.
