The Woman Without a Country
Pikilina, a Dominican-born woman of Haitian descent, is left stateless along with 250,000 others after the Dominican Republic reversed its birth-right citizenship law.
Since colonial times the Dominican Republic and Haiti - two ethnically and culturally distinct countries - have been forced to share an island. This film follows Pikilina, a Dominican-born woman of Haitian descent, who is left stateless along with 250,000 others after the Dominican Republic reversed its birth-right citizenship law, leaving generations of people without a homeland. In a country already rife with racism, this contentious law further stokes an atmosphere of distrust and animosity. Pikilina is faced with a difficult choice: fleeing with her family to Haiti, a country she barely knows or fighting for her rightful citizenship and exposing herself to danger.
