REBEL FILMS: Assistance Mortelle (Fatal Assistance) Trailer below... This is a 2-year journey inside the challenging, contradictory and colossal rebuilding efforts in post-earthquake Haiti. The film offers a closeup of the so-far failed efforts to address the aftermath of the catastrophic Haitian earthquake, which destroyed the homes of 1.5 million people, about 15% of the population. A wide variety of Hatians are interviewed, and the interviews are telling and touching. The photography is first-rate, revealing the beauty of the landscape and the horror both of the devastation and the failure to deal with the housing crisis, even after two years. With guest speaker B.C. Holmes of the Toronto-Haiti Action Committee. via Toronto Haiti Action Committee https://facebook/pages/Toronto-Haiti-Action-Committee/140839939337146 & Canada Haiti Action Network https://facebook/pages/Canada-Haiti-Action-Network-CHAN/226400030732335 Fatal Assistance | Trailer | New Release Award-winning Haitian born filmmaker Raoul Peck takes us on a two-year journey inside the challenging, contradictory, and colossal rebuilding efforts in post-earthquake Haiti. Through its provocative and radical point of view, Fatal Assistance offers a devastating indictment of the international communitys post-disaster idealism. The film dives headlong into the complexity of the reconstruction process and the practices and impact of worldwide humanitarian and development aid, revealing the disturbing extent of a general failure. We learn that a major portion of the money pledged to Haiti was never disbursed, nor made it into the actual reconstruction. Fatal Assistance leads us to one clear conclusion: current aid policies and practice in Haiti need to stop immediately. youtube/watch?v=z2hOI_L4F4A ************************** NGOs’ Complicity in Haitian Coup | Dissident Voice February 21st, 2014 On February 29, 2004 the US, France, and Canada overthrew Haiti’s Popularly elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and the Fanmi Lavalas Government. As my first two articles in this series outlined,1 Ottawa helped plan the coup and was heavily implicated in the human rights disaster that followed. But the most shocking aspect of the intervention was the role played by purportedly progressive non-governmental organizations.
