CayFilm Celebrates Film, Food and Fashion with screening of “Undiscovered Haiti with José Andrés”

Viewers learn the history behind some of Haiti's incredible historic sites such as the Citadel, and tour a 150-year old rum factory.

Friends such as former President Bill Clinton and Chef Mario Batali also join Chef Andrés along the way.
