Haiti

Wednesday in class, Professor Huck mentioned that many Haitians cross over into the Dominican Republic in order to work. In New York last year, a documentary entitled "The Price of Sugar" came out and talked about this very issue. The movie is very much against the system that is currently set up. It says that the people of Haiti will go over to the Dominican and basically become indentured servants on the sugar cane plantations. This is a horrible travesty, and I am glad that a movie has been made to expose these terrible acts.
