ABOUT FATAL ASSISTANCE<\/em>: <\/strong>Raoul Peck\u2019s 2013 film takes a provocative and radical viewpoint of the complexities of Haitian reconstruction after a devastating earthquake struck the island nation in 2010. From the devastating cholera epidemic brought to Haiti by United Nations Peacekeepers\u2014and that has claimed more than 8000 lives to date\u2014to the flagrant manipulations of presidential elections, Fatal Assistance<\/em> is a compelling, if tragic illustration of the dark sides of Western humanitarian interventions.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM SPEAKERS<\/strong>: Raoul Peck<\/strong> is a Haitian filmmaker of documentary and feature films including Man by the Shore<\/em> (L\u2019Homme sur les Quais<\/em>), and Lumumba<\/em>.

Harley Etienne<\/strong> is an assistant professor of urban and regional planning at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His work examines the role of land tenure policy and land rights in the post-earthquake recovery.<\/p>\n
