or over 200 years, Haiti has been called a “failed state.” But the real story is far darker.
This documentary reveals how France and the United States systematically exploited Haiti — from the brutal plantation economy of Saint-Domingue, through the independence debt that drained the country for a century, to U.S. military occupations, Cold War dictatorships, and modern corporate wage suppression.
We expose the $21 billion debt Haiti was forced to pay for its own freedom, the role of Citibank and Wall Street, and how foreign “aid” became a new form of extraction.
Haiti’s poverty is not a mystery — it’s a system. And that system was built to keep Haiti from ever rising again.
