SBS’s “Dateline,” Australia’s award-winning international current affairs program, takes viewers inside Haiti’s lawless capital this Tuesday. In a report that pulls no punches, correspondent Prue Lewarne gains unprecedented access to the armed gang leaders controlling the city, conducting interviews to explore the heart of widespread violence and the factors contributing to societal collapse.
But “Dateline” doesn’t just talk to the powerful; it also spends time with ordinary Haitians trying to make sense of their lives in a city teetering on the edge. Lewarne’s reporting brings a human face to the statistics, giving voice to the everyday struggles of those caught in the crossfire.
“Dateline: Haiti” airs Tuesday, 13 May at 9:30 PM AEST on SBS.
