Synopsis
200 years ago, the slaves of Haiti defeated Napoleon’s armies with the very tool they used to work the land : the machete. Papa Machete introduces the esoteric martial art of machete fencing through the practice and life of « Professor » Alfred Avril, one of the art’s few remaining masters.
