Jonathan Demme's important documentary The Agronomist, about Jean Dominique, a Haitian radio journalist and human rights activist, seems all the more timely this week after the devastating earthquake hit that island nation. "What is remarkable," wrote Roger Ebert, "is how long [Dominique] survived, and how courageously he owned and operated Radio Haiti-Inter; it became the voice of the powerless in great part because it broadcast in Creole, the language they spoke, instead of in the French of their masters...In Jean Dominique and his wife Michele Montas, Demme finds subjects who reflect the agony of Haiti's struggle." Adds Sean Axmaker, the film is "a rousing celebration of a genuine people's hero and a timely reminder that a free press is the greatest weapon in the arsenal of democracy and freedom."
