This superb documentary by Oscar-winning director John Demme (Philadelphia, Beloved, Man from Plains, The Manchurian Candidate) uses the story of legendary Haitian journalist and broadcaster Jean Dominique as a focus to present the larger history of the country’s political struggles. The film features excellent archival footage and interviews, and a briliant soundtrack (although Wyclef Jean I have just learned is a poseur who actually echoed the Bush State Department line in laying the blame for the 2004 coup and kidnapping of Jean Bertrand Aristide on the president himself).
(Don’t miss Democracy Now!‘s excellent, in-depth coverage of the tragedy in Haiti)
P U L S E 
Wyclef Jean also has the distinction of working with Hillary Clinton. The Clintons are behind the ouster of Aristide and the current occupation of Haiti by UN Troops. Wyclef has a charity named Yele. It is not a reliable relief agency!
