In the one-hour special, Haiti Untold, we tell a story of Haiti that is not often heard: the hope, the pride, the creativity and the proud independence of the people. Our teams of reporters spent months tracking down important stories and authentic voices. Upbeat stories about Haitians returning to their home country from the US, bringing passion, commitment and expertise to help Haiti thrive; troubling stories about human trafficking across the border with the Dominican Republic, and stories about urbanization, the MeToo movement, and recycling efforts in Haiti.
Music is an integral part of life in Haiti – you hear it everywhere: in the stores, the slums and the swanky hotels. Haitian musician Michael Brun is making a name for himself on the international music scene, melding traditional music of Haiti with Electronic Dance Music. Michael sat down with us to talk about his desire to disrupt and reframe the negative stereotypes of Haiti that suffuse media coverage of the country.
The documentary is hosted by Carline Desire who lives in Boston but is originally from Haiti, and by Conrad Fox, a Canadian journalist currently living in Mexico. The stories were contributed by Phares Jerome, Vladimir Ridore, Amy Bracken, Michel Joseph and Aida Alami.
Haiti Untold is being broadcast by many public radio stations across the country, from KQED in San Francisco, to WBUR in Boston- and many in between. Check your local stations to see if it is airing Haiti Untold, from Round Earth Media.
HAITI UNCOVERED is a production of Round Earth Media. Our unique reporting method puts two early career journalists on each story: one from the United States, the other from the country where the story happens. With the mentoring support of REM's veteran reporters, they work together in equal partnership to research and report on the same stories – creating the most balanced, comprehensive view possible. Their stories are typically published in at least two countries and languages simultaneously – in both a major media outlet in the United States (New York Times, NPR, USA Today, etc.), and a major media outlet in the country where the story happened. Readers in Omaha see the same story as readers in Mexico City!

DEKOUVRI AYITI se yon pwodiksyon Round Earth Media. Metòd eksepsyònèl nou an mete nan relasyon jounalis kap tanmen karyè yo nan chak istwa: Youn nan peyi Etazini, lòt la nan peyi kote istwa a ap fèt la. Ak sipò, konsèy jounalis ki gen karyè nan REM yo. Yo travay ansanm nan yon patenarya egal pou yo fè rechèch, rapòte menm istwa yo epi fè sòti yon vizyon ki pi balanse, ki konplè posib. Istwa yo yo anjeneral pibliye nan omwen de peyi ak de lang an menm tan - Nan yon gwo medya nan peyi Etazini (New York Times, NPR, USA Jodi a, elatriye), ak yon gwo medya nan peyi a kote istwa a reyalize a. Lektè nan Omaha wè istwa a menm jan ak lektè nan Mexico City!
