As we cover the latest crisis and escalating violence in Haiti, we take a step back in this episode and dive into how the country got here. Haiti was once a pearl of the Caribbean, and a stable, go-to tourism hot spot, (the Clintons took their honeymoon there!) but things have taken a turn for the worst over the last few decades. 

Award-winning CBS News correspondent and host Vladimir Duthiers has reported from Haiti extensively and has a deep understanding for the country and people. He joins Mosheh to discuss the recent developments and how three centuries of colonialism, US occupation and foreign involvement have impacted the island. Duthiers’ family is originally from Haiti and he provides some incredible first-hand perspective.
