I am seriously evaluating the possibility of being executive producer of an actualized documentary about the Haitian invasion of 1804 and need facts from different sources.
I need historical facts and events, with detailed descriptions, both from the Haitian side as well as Dominican side. References to publications even in French, and maps as well. No hearsay or opinions please unless they can be substantiated.
Anyone who wants to contribute to this project is welcome if you have previous experience in acting,
production, cinematography, video cameras, stage building, costume design, generating sponsors, '' you are most welcome.

generoso don't you think there are better moments to document than one in which we were victims? I'll be a happy consumer of any DR historical material if it is solid quality but just saying...

Read "The Dominican People, A documentary history" It gives a detail outlook of 19th Century DR

You should include the event in the Church in Moca. This event should include the rape of innocent young Dominican girls by Haitians and their subsequent death....One thing I can tell, you gonna have plenty of material, I volunteer myself to assist you. P o M.

Interesting enough ? arkatype I would love to know about that period, certainly that was not emphasized so much in school, the original Haitians army were brutal, and even worse during the papa Doc regime, I am not condoning the actions however war is always painful, and torture are bound to happen on any side, look at the sitituation in abugabre,guantanamo ect..
I think some kind of apology is needed from the Haitian government to close that dark chapter in the History of the island

Have anyone of you heard about the assassination of the Andujar family by the haitian soldiery? While this dark episode happened during Boyer's occupation in 1822, it's still pertinent to mention it on the issue at hand. Check this out:

Any thoughts about this?

The Dessaline invasion was the brutal one, Boyer invasion was somewhat peaceful and supportive by the population please shed some lights Lat

Quite interesting, I didn't think there was actually much information on the topic, I'll send you anything that I come across. If you have people in New York you can check out libreria Caliope in the Inwood section of Manhattan. Best of luck!

To tell you the truth, antonio, I was ignorant about this incident, only getting wind of it after a friend of mine mentioned seeing it on a folk tale book called "Cosas Añejas". On the site mentioned above, the paragraph mentioning the incidents tells it like this:

"Esta familia fue protagonista de uno de los episodios más oscuros de la Dominación Haitiana (1822-1844), el asesinato de “Las Vírgenes de Galindo”. El 29 de mayo de 1822, soldados al mando de los oficiales Condé y Lenoir, asesinaron brutalmente a Andrés Andujar y a sus tres hijas. Este episodio, narrado por varios literatos dominicanos —Félix María Delmonte Fernández de Castro en “Las Vírgenes de Galindo”, César Nicolás Penson Matos en su obra "Cosas Añejas" y más recientemente Joaquín Antonio Balaguer Ricardo en su obra “Centinela de la Frontera”— sirvió para acrecentar el repudio que el pueblo dominicano sentía hacia Haití. El crimen cometido contra las “Vírgenes de Galindo” produjo, en el Siglo XIX, similar impacto que el creado por el brutal asesinato de las hermanas Mirabal durante la dictadura de Trujillo."

I'll kept you posted about anything that I can dig up about the incident.

I study Film but i am in no way capable of helping you/ sorry
