    This historical action epic, starring Jimmy Jean-Louis in the title role, is based on the life of Toussaint L'Ouverture (1743-1803), who led the only successful slave rebellion in the history of the Americas. It was this 18th century revolt that sparked the Haitian Revolution and led to the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte, liberating the enslaved people of Haiti. Set during L'Ouverture's lifetime in Saint-Domingue (now known as Haiti), the film focuses on L'Ouverture's personal life as well as his military genius.
