Opens with trailer for Lisa Gay Hamilton's film, "Beah: A Black Woman Speaks," which airs on Documentary Channel (DOC)March 29, 2011, 8 PM ET/PT. We rebroadcast the interview with director Daniel Birman, "Me Facing Life." Just back from Haiti, Pierre Laboissiere joins us to talk about the return of President Aristide and his family, wife, Mildred Aristide and two children, to Haiti last week after a seven year absence. What does his return mean for the Haitian people? What are his immediate and long term plans? What about Baby Doc? Pending elections? At the top of the hour we speak to Laura Livoti, Justice in Nigeria Now founder, Emem Okon, woman's rights activist and advocate from the Niger Delta's oil impacted region of Nigeria, and Sandy Cioffi, director of awardwinning film Sweet Crude.
