Event Information

Chicago Premiere

Screening presented in collaboration with the DuSable Heritage Association.

Followed by a Q and A with veteran actress Mireille Metellus.

After twenty years of silence, a dying Reynold asks his estranged daughter, Vanessa, to prepare and share his final meals. As she cooks the traditional Haitian dishes of his youth, the familiar flavors awaken painful memories tied to his life under the Duvalier dictatorship.

Set against the backdrop of Haiti's political history and generational trauma, The Last Meal is a moving story of reconciliation that explores the power of food, memory, and confronting the past to heal fractured family bonds.

Beautifully crafted and emotionally resonant, the film reflects on legacy, healing, and the stories carried through culture, family, and the kitchen.
