Ciné Institute: Haiti's Heroes
January 13, 2011We've reported this week on how little has changed since the Haiti earthquake one year ago today. The cholera epidemic is on the rise, a million people are living in tent cities and the Haitian government is in complete paralysis. We continue to follow the situation in Haiti, but how about a little positive news?Peter Hart, Miriam Moskowitz, Haiti and the Broken Economy

January 13, 2010We check in with actor/activist Danny Glover and Marie St. Cyr, vice president of the Long Island Association of AIDS Care, on the situation in Haiti. St. Cyr was the Director of the Haitian Coalition on AIDS in New York City, and her family is in Port-au-Prince and Petionville, Haiti. Glover has been working on a film about Haitian independence hero Toussaint L'Ouverture.Haiti, the Value of Regulation, and Ann Wright
January 13, 2010The hearings on the financial crisis are getting underway, but the real solutions will need to come out of Congress. Is it possible to create a conscious capitalism to take its place, or do we need to radically rethink our economic system? We ask Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved and the new The Value of Nothing: How to Reshape Market Society and Redefine Democracy, Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation and of the book Meltdown, and Daniel Gross, Newsweek columnist.
