Francisco Desir
In January 2023, Francisco celebrated his 21st birthday, a special day for him. It was the start of his search for a missing piece of identity. He dreams of returning to Haiti and meeting his family there. He wants to tell them that he is doing well and that he does not blame them for anything. For a year, Francisco sets out to find the missing puzzle pieces in his story, resulting in this four part and consecutively aired documentary.
Francisco Desir
21 years ago, in 2002, Francisco Desir Schuster was found abandoned in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital. His parents adopted him when he was eight months old. He grew up with them, into who he is today. But he does not have much information about his first months of life, and he has a lot of questions about that period. "Where did I come from? How old was my mum when I was born? Do I have any siblings? Are my biological parents still alive?"
