03/07/2013 This movie is a great introduction to the issues currently plaguing Haiti. I liked that people of all opinions are included...very informative. See more 05/17/2009 I was really affected by the film -Haiti: Killing the Dream-, but that one is out-of-date and very hard to find. This is a very nice replacement for that old classic. I think I found this one a little boring at times because I knew so much of the story already, but if you want to learn about the US's most recent intervention in Haiti, this film is where it's at. Features extensive interviews with Paul Farmer, Noam Chomsky, and many others... even Aristide himself. See more 10/16/2008 Excellent, and infuriating. It's interesting that there's a review that says this movie is balanced because I think the anti-Aristide people look like fools. And Aristide is so cute....his eyes....oh it's like Thom Yorke from Radiohead.

I liked that people of all opinions are included...very informative. See more 03/14/2008 Doesn't make me proud to be an American after watching this film. It's disturbing how the American Gov't can meddle. Bush is so adamant to bring democracy to Iraq, yet doesn't want it in Haiti. Quite the contradiction. See more 11/27/2007 A critical look at the role international denial of foreign aid has on Haiti, and in particular former president Aristide. The most recent denial of foreign aid (over 3 consecutive years) builds on over 200 years of embargos and financial manipulation by external forces, since Haiti fought to become the first free country in 1804, challenging the hypocrisy present in the Enlightenment which called for freedom for the bourgeoisie in France, but kept quiet on slavery in the colonies. A must see movie! See more Read all reviews
