- Duvalier fled Haiti on February 7, 1986. Soon after, a new wave of violence started with a group of gangsters that the Haitians called ZENGLENDO.

The militia man's son Badof Dorelas (Shisler Laneaud) was traumatized by the events and ended up seeking revenge on the populations with Ruthless Gang's activities. The gang left behind broken families who lost their relatives through their violence acts for history to judge the murders and murderers. In French and Haitian Creole subtitled in English. Filmed in Port-au-Prince Haiti 1990 - 1991.
- A seven part series on the various historical cultural legacies of the Caribbean.

- Haiti. Uden title is a kaleidoscopic, dramatic documentary from this chaotic Caribbean country and comprises a mixture of material on video, 16 mm and 35 mm, dating in some scenes right back shooting on Leth's Udenrigskorrespondent (1982). The very lively hand-held video sequences that make up the most recent material make up the bulk of the film and the rapid, fragmentary editing style garnished with neat video tricks, gunfire, etc. put the film at the same level as the Haiti chaos itself. The French photographer Chantal Regnault plays Leth's role as the "experiencer", an observer in the midst of the dramatic reality of Haiti which she also describes with an outsider's fascination. The film contains a large number of very powerful, sensual pictures of life and death in Haiti, the heartrending weeping at the funerals, mountains of refuse picturesquely and infernally aflame, the dramatic manifestations and ritual beauty of voodoo, the rhetoric of the politicians, and far more besides. Another angle is pursued in the scenes of the American soldier stationed there who clearly represents the impotence of western rationalism in the face of Haitian reality. But there are also great contrasts: in perfectly calm passages the tropical rain pours down on the Hotel Oloffson garden in lingering shots, lightly-attired women was clothes in a river, and a naked woman poet recites one of her poems draped in a basket chair as the camera slowly zooms in on her. Shots of a naked black woman on a white sheet offer highly personal erotic material that is also displayed during the film in ultra-brief, hidden pictures. Haiti. Uden title is thus a dynamic, vigorous visual narrative aesthetically akin to a number of contemporary documentaries such as Tómas Gislason's Fra hjertet til hånden (a portrait film about Leth) and Jacob Thuesen's Under New York.
- A piggyback ride of a documentary linking Haitian pigs, Vodou and US economic imperialism.
- In late 1989, local authorities of Roche-Ã-Bateau, Haiti, arrested Belavoix Doricent, a destitute local man, for the murder of his nephew Wilfrid Doricent. Belavoix's trial would become a singular case in the annals of 20th-century jurisprudence-in Haiti or anywhere else. For the chief witness for the prosecution was none other than the victim himself, Wilfrid. The state argued that the uncommunicative, blank-faced man standing in the courtroom had been positively identified by his parents as their long-dead son, turned into a zombie by his malevolent uncle Belavoix.
