• Country: Haiti Year: 24.04.1991 Dur: 26.38 The story of six years in the life of Fr. Jean Bertrand Aristide who survived at least eight attempts at assassination and serious censure from his Church to become the first freely elected President of Haiti with nearly 70% of the votes.
  • Country: Haiti Year: 01.05.1991 Dur: 26.14 In this century Haiti has been ruled singly or together by the United States, the Army, the Wealthy, and the Catholic Hierarchy. Now for the first time the ruler represents the people, 80% of whom are the very poor. How has the balance of power so changed, and can it be permanent? Will the first Priest President be allowed remain a priest?
  • Country: Haiti Year: 08.05.1991 Dur: 26.29 The significance of the recent elections in Haiti for the rest of the Caribbean and Latin America is not that President Aristide is a priest so much as a strong supporter of an ideology which says the poor must come first. But the poverty of Haiti is so great, it seems that a miracle would be required to make any changes in the position.
