Once There Was A Country: Revisiting Haiti

Once There Was A Country: Revisiting Haiti (53 Minutes) examines the causes of the health care crisis in Haiti at the beginning of the twenty-first century and provides examples of how innovative, self-sustaining health care programs can alleviate poverty and disease in the most isolated regions of Haiti.

Once There Was A Country: Revisiting Haiti explores the social and environmental reasons behind a failing healthcare infrastructure as well as Haiti’s status as the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Once There Was A Country aims to dispel the myths surrounding this misunderstood country and provides viewers with a surprisingly positive point of view.
