Inside Gangs Of Haiti
Foreign Correspondent meets gang members who have become a law unto themselves and follows local police as they patrol streets where their numbers and arsenal are often outmatched by the gunmen they are trying to catch.
The episode also looks at the international force now in place and the challenge of wrestling control from gangs before Haiti can hold its first elections in more than a decade.
For Australian viewers, the episode offers a ground-level look at a crisis that often reaches the news through statistics and political briefings. The focus is on daily life inside Port-au-Prince and the people trying to survive amid violence, displacement and uncertainty.
