Synopsis:
Disparate (Essentially different in kind, not allowing comparison) Human aka "Angry Haitian Woman" is the story of a Haitian-American actress and her experiences as a person of the black diaspora in America. After her performance of a monologue one night, an audience member advises her performance can be improved by playing up the anger in being a black woman. The actress decides to examine this stereotype -- the stereotype has its origins in minstrel shows. How does one break through the one-dimensional role to be full-blooded in art? How many stereotypes need to be shed before she can play a superhero? Or allowed to be vulnerable?
