Showdown in Haiti
Share
FRONTLINE examines the escalating confrontation between the Haitian military government and the Clinton administration. Interviewing military ruler Lt. General Raoul Cedras, exiled Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, U.S. officials, Haitian businessmen, and Aristide supporters, the program covers developments in Haiti up to the time of broadcast, setting events in historical context and examining what is at stake for President Clinton’s foreign policy. ‘Showdown in Haiti’ includes interviews with two Aristide supporters, Antoine Izmery, a major financial backer of Aristide’s political coalition, and Justice Minister Guy Malary. Both men were assassinated only days after they spoke to FRONTLINE.
