Haiti Update with Flashpoint Senior Producer, Kevin Pina

Today on Flashpoints, we return to Haiti and the situation there as thousands are reportedly seeking ways to flee the country as a government corruption scandal grows over billions of dollars missing from the Venezuela sponsored PetroCaribe program. Poverty and illiteracy rates are reported to actually be on the rise as Haiti’s economy shrinks and remittances from family and friends now account for nearly 40% of the island nation’s GDP. Then we talk with author and scholar Matthew Alford about his recent book: National Security Cinema: The Shocking New Evidence of Government Control in Hollywood.
