The Film

Battered by hurricanes, embroiled in political turmoil, overrun by armed gangs, and largely ignored by the international community, Haiti is trying, yet again, to embrace democracy. As the hemisphere's poorest country attempts to organize for presidential elections, Unfinished Country reveals life on Haiti's streets and among its power brokers as the country endeavors to fashion a representative government out of a volatile state.
