UCLan Research Produces Documentary About The Last Queen Of Haiti By Anthony Gilmour on 15th January 2021
A researcher from the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) has released a documentary tracing the exile journey of the first and last Queen of Haiti.
Dr Nicole Willson has produced a film, in collaboration with the Haitian Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain, which highlights the locations Marie-Louise Christophe and her two daughters lived in Britain from 1821 to 1824.
The film, which journeys across various sites in the UK, including Blackheath, Hastings and London, uses research unearthed by Dr Willson in 2019.
The Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow, based in UCLan’s Institute for Black Atlantic Research, discovered a translation of Marie-Louise’s last will and testament in the UK National Archives. Since this important discovery, she has unearthed a number of interesting facts about the life of the Haitian queen in exile.
