View the trailer

One hour away from Miami the elected President of the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation was twice removed from office with the complicity of the international community. Aristide and the Endless Revolution is a feature documentary that explores through investigative lenses the events that led to the removal of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the democratically elected President of Haiti. Filmmaker Nicolas Rossier takes the viewer into a journey of political intrigues, armed criminals posing as freedom fighters and economic fiascos. What emerges is a young democracy being constantly tested and ultimately destroyed.

The film features renowned physician and anthropologist Paul Farmer, President Aristide himself, actor and UN goodwill ambassador Danny Glover, political commentator and linguist Noam Chomsky, Assistant - Secretary of State Roger Noriega, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, expert James Dobbins, John Shattuck and many Haitian Voices.
