DESCRIPTION:"ARISTIDE and the Endless Revolution"    a feature documentary by Nicolas 
 Rossier       About the film:  An hour south of Miami, the elected 
 president of the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation has twice been forced 
 from office with the complicity of the international community. "ARISTIDE 
 and the Endless Revolution" investigates the tragic events that led to the 
 second violent expulsion of Jean Bertrand Aristide from Haiti. This 
 documentary reveals the tangled web of hope, deceit, and political violence 
 that has brought the world's first black republic to its knees.   More 
 About the film: http://www.aristidethefilm.com     "Nicolas Rossier's gift 
 to future generations......It is a critically important work concerning an 
 event that should not be consigned to forgotten history"  JACK RANDOM - 
 Author of Jazzman Chronicles  "Aristide and the Endless Revolution is a 
 film that should be seen and discussed. Many of the titles at this years 
 VIFF can broaden our understanding of the world, and of othersrealities. 
 Few, however, will match Aristide in calling forth urgent political action" 
  Derrick O'Keefe - Seven Oaks Magazine  "An excellent film about the sad 
 recent poltical history of Haiti that not only provides a rich, 
 well-detailed context for understanding the rise and fall and rise and fall 
 of Aristide but also offers a provocative meditation of the role of 
 outside, especially American, forces and interests in his tumultuous 
 career.  Richard Peña -  Program Director - Film Society of Lincoln Center 
    « The film is great. An awesome job of getting the recent historical 
 context (1991 coup, etc.) in with the slave revolution/independence. A 
 non-Haiti follower is assured an exciting, informative, powerful work 
 ..Director Nicolas Rossier bravely exposes this great truth: the fire of 
 the slave revolution continues to burn in every hungry Haitians 
 heart.Thomas Griffin -  Thomas Griffin - Author of the Human Rights 
 Investigation on Haiti, March 2004, Miami School of Law    "Compelling and 
 informative, this documentary by Nicolas Rossier examines events in 
 Haiti--including the history leading up to the 2004 kidnapping of President 
 Jean-Bertrand Aristide--via interviews with a wide range of opponents and 
 supporters as well with the former parish priest himself".   Vancouver 
 International Film Festival   
 ---------------------------------------------------------------  "What is 
 happening now in Haiti is awful, maybe beyond repair. And there is plenty 
 of short-term responsibility on all sides. But the right way for the US and 
 France to proceed is very clear. They should begin with payment of enormous 
 reparations to Haiti (France is perhaps even more hypocritical and 
 disgraceful in this regard than the US ). That, however, requires 
 construction of functioning democratic societies in which, at the very 
 least, people have a prayer of knowing what's going on."   Noam Chomsky
