On the four-year anniversary of the coup in Haiti that ousted
Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Bristol Indymedia presents the acclimated
documentary: Aristide And The Endless Revolution

In 1991, Haitian citizens elected a former Roman Catholic priest and exponent of liberation theology, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, as president. Popular among Haiti's poor and disenfranchised, Aristide became a target of Haiti's business interests (and the political parties that served those interests) because of his daring policies that tried to raise the standard of living for the huge majority of Haitians. Nicolas Rossier's powerful and informative documentary focuses on his later years as president, as he struggled to fulfil his promises of reform in the face of mounting domestic opposition (driven in large part by business and military interests) and simultaneously an increasingly hostile relationship with the United States.
