Haiti Untold

Specials | Feb 1, 2019

January 12, 2019 marked nine years since Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake — one that, by some estimates, killed more than 250,000 people, and one from which the island nation is still working to recover. Haiti Untold takes a deep dive into this Caribbean country, exploring issues of inequality through stories of the people who live in the urban ghettos, the up-market enclaves, and the forgotten countryside. 

Airs Saturday, February 2 at 10pm on AM 820 and New Jersey Public Radio.
