Description: History of a group of 13 young Haitians calling themselves "Jeune Haiti" who attempted to overthrow the regime of François Duvalier, also known as Papa Doc, in 1964. The members of "Jeune Haiti" were killed one by one over three months in combat with the thousands of members of Haiti's army sent to capture them. Two, captured alive, were shot in public in Port-au-Prince. Several of the group were from the town of Jérémie and during the months they fought in the hills, the Duvalier regime ordered the arrest and murder of Jeune Haiti's family members, a massacre called the Jérémie Vespers.
