PORT-AU-PRINCE Haiti, December 23rd, 2011 -- The aftermath of the devastating earthquake that rocked Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010 saw waves of aid workers pouring into the country, backed by billions in aid funds. But exactly what happened to a significant portion of that money, and how it was disbursed, remains unclear, according to award-winning journalist and author Michele Mitchell, who tackles the subject in her new documentary, Haiti: Where Did the Money Go?
After several trips the country, and visits to hundreds of camps, Mitchell says the conditions have actually deteriorated. Mitchell, a former investigative correspondent for NOW with Bill Moyers and political anchor for CNN Headline News, is now the executive editor of film for independent media company Film@11.
To learn more about the film and her work in Haiti, Caribbean Journal talked to Mitchell about the conditions in Haiti’s camps, the lifestyles of aid workers in the country and the lessons for those considering donating money for relief efforts. Click here for more.
