Jean-Bertrand Aristide

A six part documentary series which seeks to explore the role Canada's foreign policy has played in the international arena since the post-World War II era.

Shot in early 2004 during the commemoration of the bicentennial of Haiti, this film offers a unique light on the last days to the presidency of Aristide, former priest of the poor became apprentice dictator. It is a reflection on the history of the first black republic in the world, a nation shared between the memory of its glorious revolution and the tragic litany of despots that have overwhelmed it since its independence.
