I recently spent two weeks in Haiti working on a film Seven Days in Haiti, which will consists of several vignettes on life in Haiti and a feature/segment on the candidacy of popular Haitian musician Michel Martelly aka Sweet Mickey. Mr. Martelly's campaigned inspired many of the Haitian youth, who threatened violence if they felt their candidate was cheated. My film crew consisted of two brilliant and engaging young men, and we met hundreds of people in a variety walks of life.

Haiti or as the Haitians call their nation Ayaiti has first world people living in a third world enviroment. None the less Haiti may erupt tonight because of the election results which Michel Martelly did not make it to the 2nd round of the elections which will pit Jude Celestin - the hand picked successor to President Preval against former Senator and First Lady Mirlande Manigat.
