• Danny Schechter: Bungled Aid Hurts More than it Helps

  January 22, 2010

  Haitians woke up before we did Wednesday, with 6.1 earthquake-strength aftershocks adding more insult to their ongoing injuries. Those aftershocks were bad, but there’s been a failure, a massive failure, on the part of the Obama administration’s response to the disaster. This is a worse aftershock worth commenting on.

• Haiti and New Orleans, Raj Patel and We Want What's Ours

  January 21, 2010

  The comparisons between the earthquake in Haiti and Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans have come fast and furious, but often from people who've watched both disasters through the clean-cut white lens of Anderson Cooper broadcasts. Meanwhile, people in Haiti--and those in the Gulf Coast still struggling four years later--need more than blame and comparisons. They need real solutions.

• Got Docs? Crayons and Paper

  July 25, 2008

  Dr. Jerry Ehrlich first traveled to Sudan in 1991 as a volunteer with the aid organization Doctors Without Borders. Since then he has traveled to Darfur, Haiti, and Sri Lanka. Having viewed drawings by children during the Holocuast in the Terezin ghetto in what is now the Czech Republic, Ehrlich decided to provide his young patients with crayons and paper so they could document their own experience. He began to read the lives of children displaced by war through the pictures that they drew. When director Bruce David Janu saw some of the drawings on line he decided to meet Dr. Ehrlich. “I was just taken by him,” Janu says. “He is a film unto himself.”
