This long-form documentary explores the modern history of Haiti and the cyclical nature of foreign interference from the fall of the Duvalier dictatorship in nineteen eighty-six to the current gang crisis of twenty twenty-six. We examine the critical transition periods including the rise and exile of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the controversial UN MINUSTAH mission, and the devastating aftermath of the twenty ten earthquake aid mismanagement. This episode breaks down how systemic external pressures, from U.S. military interventions to the introduction of cholera by peacekeepers, have shaped the political and social landscape of the nation.
Our deep dive into Haitian sovereignty investigates the fragmentation of the state following the twenty twenty-one assassination of Jovenel Moise and the subsequent rise of paramilitary gang coalitions. We move past simplistic "failed state" narratives to analyze the mechanics of the "Republic of NGOs" and the disappearance of PetroCaribe funds. By centering the impact on the Haitian people and the role of international committees in determining local leadership, this documentary provides an essential perspective on how decades of outside interest have influenced the current struggle for stability and self-determination in the Caribbean.
