The opening scene of Edwidge Danticat’s story is that of a detached man falling to certain death, all Without Inspection. The fall takes six and a half seconds, but it is enough time to think about his lifetime. In his freefall, Arnold thinks about his life in Haiti, his brutal journey to the US and Darlene and Paris, the two people he calls his family. In this episode, we go over the history of Haiti, its relation with the US and talk about key moments that might define the life of an immigrant.
