Conversation Part 1: Nicolas Rossier on Haiti in the Earthquake's Aftermath

It's not a year since the earthquake rocked Haiti and destroyed homes and cities, leaving people in desperate situations. And now as elections are approaching, Haitians face a cholera outbreak on top of everything. Nicolas Rossier, an award winning independent filmmaker and reporter whose latest films include American Radical and Aristide and the Endless Revolution, spoke to exiled former Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide about the situation in his country and brought us an exclusive first look at his two-hour conversation.

Rossier joins The Nation on Grit TV to describe the situation in Haiti, Aristide's enforced exile in South Africa and why his party, still popular in Haiti, isn't allowed to participate in the upcoming election.

Thanks for sharing this video. With the tragic situation in Haiti, it appears that the one person whom the local Haitians have the most trust in, has unfortunately be sidelined in South Africa. This was one of the issues that was side stepped in the recent press coverage of the Haitian elections.

Thanks for bringing this story to the Nation. The election will be far from fair and free but the UN and the US want to invest millions in it with our money.
