About

François Perlier's documentary on popular Haitian culture and the artistic and political work of Foukifoura, Édris, Charlotte and Ramoncite.

The Soul of Bossales is a documentary by François Perlier, made after his meeting with the Haitian actor and radio chronicler Foukifoura. It looks at popular Haitian culture, whose spirituality and creativity, the film says, were shaped by a movement for freedom and identity. Foukifoura, Édris, Charlotte and Ramoncite are described as Bossales; the film presents their artistic and political acts and a reality of material and health insecurity, political violence and neocolonialism. The cast includes Edris Fortune, Ilrique "Foukifoura" Perin, Jean-Elie Gilles, Charlotte Charles, Yonel Charles, Ramoncite Pierre and Karina "Michou" Thibaud, all appearing as themselves.
