Listen to Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall discuss her latest book Slave Revolt on Screen: The Haitian Revolution in Film and Video Games. The Haitian Revolution (1791 – 1804) was one of the most important events of modern world history. Taking place in what was then a French colony called Saint-Domingue, the Revolution was the first successful uprising of enslaved Africans in the New World. The Revolution sent shockwaves throughout the Atlantic world, terrifying enslavers while stirring hope among enslaved people. Despite its importance, the Haitian Revolution rarely appears on film; however, an increasing number of video games have featured stories about slave resistance in Haiti. Why has this topic seemed so radioactive to Hollywood executives, but attractive to certain game studios? What films and games on the Revolution exist, and how do they portray this key episode in Black history? And why should historians pay attention to games on topics like the Haitian Revolution, as sites of memory? These questions, and more, will be addressed.
