Episode 07: Raoul Peck

Raoul Peck, born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti in 1953, is a multifaceted artist who has carved a unique path in the world of cinema. Here's a deeper dive into his life and accomplishments. Peck's upbringing was shaped by his family's flight from the Duvalier dictatorship in Haiti. This led to a nomadic childhood, living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (then Zaire), the United States, France, and Germany. This exposure to diverse cultures informs his filmmaking, allowing him to explore themes with a global perspective. Peck initially pursued studies in economics and engineering, but a shift led him to the prestigious German Film and Television Academy Berlin. This shift proved pivotal, sparking his filmmaking career. (Generated by Google Gemini AI). MUSIC COMPOSED BY: Edzer Angerville and Marcus Pinn
