The Agronomist

The Agronomist is a 2003 American documentary directed by Jonathan Demme, and starring Jean Dominique. The documentary follows the life of Dominique, who ran Haitis first independent radio station, Radio HaitiInter, during multiple repressive regimes.

Radio HaitiInter was Radio Haiti in 1960 and in 1969, it became Radio HaitiInter. It finally ended its broadcast three years after the assassination of Jean Dominique. His broadcasts were primarily for the struggle of democracy and he was able to capture the feelings of those who were poor and powerless.The remarkable account of Jean Dominique and his radio hosting days is that his struggle was able to last as long as it lasted. While almost a majority of any repressive society would silence its critics, Radio HaitiInter wasnt silenced for decades. Even after his assassination, his wife and fellow journalist, Michle Montas, tried to keep the radio broadcast going until it finally collapsedyears after his assassination. ........
