What will be the impact of the global economic crisis, this financial meltdown in the world's richest economies, on that of the world's most impoverished? Consider the case of Haiti, where the sheer magnitude of the economic disaster, already long under way, is difficult to conceive in most countries.
Haiti: Taking Account with journalist/filmmaker Kevin Pina and former Haitian parliamentary deputy Jean Candio
Every social and economic indicator in Haiti has shown a decline since 2004. Food production is down and hunger is up. School enrollments, medical facilities, house construction, road repair and construction, and economic investment are all in sharp decline. The ministries of the Haitian government have been deliberately incapacitated and underfunded as a result of foreign governments in Haiti.
