Why there is hope for Haiti

The Documentary

Available for over a year

Haiti's capital, Port au Prince, is now largely under the control of armed gangs. More than a million people have been displaced from their homes and a new UN-backed force led by Kenya is struggling to restore order. But away from the headlines of chaos and gang violence, Haitians are still resisting and trying to build a life for themselves. In this special edition of the Global News Podcast, Nick Miles speaks to medics, activists and academics and asks them a simple question - why is there still hope for Haiti?
