Ed - thank you for finding and posting.
There is some incredible and distressing documentary material in the film.
Truly a documentary to watch and weep.
In the accompanying article, Jafrikayiti (Jean Saint-Vil) writes "I apologize for the misleading title of this article. Regretably, black fratricide remains an immensely attractive theme in our hollywodized culture."
I agree. The title, "Haiti: Obama does not like Black People", is wrong and misleading.
Ed - if you felt able to change the title of this DPF thread to something more appropriate such as A True History of Haiti, or Haiti as Imperial Colony, I believe this would more accurately reflect the importance of Kevin Pina's documentary.
