Aristide and the Endless Revolution (2005)

Only an hour south of Miami, the elected president of the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation, Jean Bertrand Aristide, has twice been forced from office with the complicity of the international community. An intelligent and engrossing examination of the oft-suppressed story of the 2004 coup d'etat in Haiti, Rossier's film investigates the events that led to the second violent expulsion of Aristide from Haiti, and reveals the tangled web of hope, deceit, and political violence that has brought the world's first black republic to its knees.

I watched this documentary last night. It's no wonder that the Clintons and Baby Bush are front and center are right there in Haiti . The whole reparations from France is a pipe dream as long as the sorry ass US mainstream media spoon feeds us pablum like this. So is the hope that Haiti will "pull itself up by it's bootstraps" with vested business interests dominating the country. I can see how these interests would need to shut him up and depose him.

There were approximately 40,000 to 45,000 Americans in the country during the quake, but only 16 dead? Ah, sounds like they don't exactly live like most Hatians, or they just haven't been accounted for.
