I'm not Haitian yet I see 2 sides to this argument. Those who fear the story will be distorted..and yes it will to some degree. As well, those who want their history told and be recognized for it and as the country they are now.
Yes, the ignorance of where the country is and what it goes through is formidable. However, I have found many Haitians themsleves guilty of ridding/ casting thmeselves of their own country. Many people from EVERYWHERE are easily pointed fingers at for this outcome.
I think the main point here is that a HISTORY has a chance at being told. Many people will be made aware of this history. It's really always still up to the integrity of viewers interested in how much they know and how much they will investigate for themselves.
At least this film will create an opportunity to taste something and learn as opposed to no exposure or worse how Haiti is/and if portrayed today. (CNN and news as fore-mentioned).
Give it a chance to open a lot of eyes!
