Abstract
Using feminist and Third Cinema theory as a lens, this article argues that, coming as it does from a postcolonial/neocolonial nation, though the film ostensibly focuses on the trials of the male protagonist, Zéphirin, Zombi Candidat à la Présidence … ou Les Amours d'un Zombi by Haitian filmmaker, Arnold Antonin, draws attention to the struggles of the female characters as representatives of the nation. The Haitian woman's struggle to resist objectifying onslaughts from both the natural and the supernatural world represents the struggle of the nation to survive similar onslaughts both from within the country and outside of it.
