Co-presentation of DCEFF and the DC Caribbean FilmFest at the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center!

Exploiting Eden, Île-à-Vache is a David and Goliath story about the inhabitants of Île-à-Vache, a small island in the south of Haiti, and an impending tourist development project.

Considered by many as one of the last virgin beaches in the Caribbean, Île-à-Vache is an unexploited paradise, but that has come under threat. Seeing themselves as separated from decision-making around its future, the island’s people must unite to take destiny into their own hands.
