Documentary of the failures of aid to post-earthquake Haiti.

Abstract:  The director, Haiti's former minister of culture, reveals international aid to be a resoundg failure rife with organizational ineptitude, broken promises and hidden agendas in this eye-opnening condemnation of post-disaster naivete.
Haitian director Raoul Peck’s 2012 film Fatal Assistance has been made available for viewing on Vimeo in light of this more recent earthquake. His film covers the disasters and the damage that international organizations that claimed good intentions inflicted on a nation devastated by both the earthquake and aftershocks, and the cholera outbreak that raged for nearly a decade afterwards. This film is available with both English (link) or French subtitles (link), with audio in English, French, and Haitian Creole.
