Twice Into Oblivion

About This Movie

Twice Into Oblivion really digs into a dark chapter of history—Trujillo’s brutal massacre of Haitians in '37. It’s a documentary that doesn’t shy away from the heavy stuff, showing the raw emotions and tensions that still simmer between the two nations. Daphné Ménard’s approach is fascinating—you see actors from both sides, which adds this layer of tension and collaboration. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the weight of the past to settle in. The performances are compelling, and there’s something really striking about how it captures the haunting atmosphere of those events while also looking towards healing through art. It’s not the usual fare, and that’s what sets it apart. Definitely a thought-provoking watch.
