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 renown 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.

ABOUT THE TORONTO HAITI ACTION COMMITTEE (THAC)

================================================

All funds raised in the February 18 film screening will go to support 

the

grassroots organizing work of THAC. THAC is a Toronto-based grassroots

group of solidarity activists who work with sister groups based in most

provinces across Canada. We are united by a determination to raise

awareness of what is actually happening in Haiti, and the real effects 

of

the Government of Canada's support for the February 29, 2004 coup d'etat

that overthrew Haiti's democratically-elected government. For more

information about the network, visit www.canadahaitiaction.ca.

"Once we have elections where we will not have weapons, bloodshed, but, 

on

an equal basis, human being freely choosing the one they want to lead

them, then we will feed our democratic process. Then we will break with 

the

tradition of moving from one coup d’etat to another coup d’etat, but

moving one democratic election to another one. That was the goal.”

-PRESIDENT JEAN BERTRAND ARISTIDE
