HOLLYWOOD---“Stones in the Sun” is a wrenching portrait of Haitian exiles struggling to build new lives in New York City after fleeing their country in the late 1980s. Jean-Claude Duvalier had departed, but his generals remained in power and continued his reign of terror. The film, written and directed by Patricia Benoit, is a powerfully acted exploration of the different ways that people deal with the traumatic wounds of the past. [link]
