Oasis 1’s success took the Haitian film industry by storm. If you’ve missed the grand premiere of Oasis II, here’s your second chance to see the movie...for free!
HaitiXchange will be giving away 5 copies of the Oasis II DVD, as well as 5 tickets to the upcoming Oasis II screening in Miami, courtesy of Francette Agnant, the creator of Oasis I and II.
The contest has begun and consists of questions posed in the HaitiXchange forum (in this thread). The person who provides the first answer to each question will get to pick 1 prize of their choice from either the DVDs or the movie screening tickets (as supplies last.) Questions will be asked until all prizes are given away.

Haitian101 got the first prize!! Congratulations!!!
"It is a symbol of liberty, and was in fact called the liberty cap. This conical cap with no brim and with top turned forward was given to freed slaves in Roman times. Featured in the bishop's mitre and the Rosicrucians' hat, it was worn in the 18th century by French revolutionaries. In the US Seal Of The Department Of The Army, it is shown at the top of a swordpoint. Phrygia was an ancient country in what is now Turkey."

"The Black Jacobins was written by C.L.R. James and published in 1938. It was then reissued by James in 1963 with new notes, preface, and appendix. This historical account of the Haitian (San Domingo) Revolution of 1791-1803. Throughout the book, James takes an original look at revolution by analyzing revolutionary potential and progress according to economic and class distinctions, rather than racial distinctions. The Black Jacobins also focuses on Toussaint L'Ouverture as the revolutionary spearhead and organizational leader."
