If you'd like to support the project:

In the late 18th century, the French colony of Saint-Domingue exploded into one of the most radical uprisings in human history. Enslaved Africans, led by figures like Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, rose up to defeat the armies of France, Spain, and Britain—building the world’s first Black republic: Haiti.

This was not just a rebellion. It was a full-blown revolution.

This video dives into the untold story of the Haitian Revolution—how it started, how it overcame impossible odds, and why it remains one of the most powerful moments in the history of human freedom.
