Haiti in a Time of Cholera

Fault Lines travels to Haiti and to the UN headquarters in New York, to ask questions of accountability over Haiti’s Cholera epidemic.

Nearly 8 thousand people have died horrible painful deaths in Haiti since a cholera epidemic swept the country 2 years ago. Over half a million others have been infected. Dozens are still dying every week.

The scientific evidence shows that the United Nations almost certainly brought the disease into the country. But the UN still refuses to acknowledge responsibility.

Fault Lines travels to Haiti to witness the death, the pain, and the fight for compensation, and then travels to the United Nations headquarters in New York to ask questions of those who are most likely to be responsible.
