Haiti Rising: Tales from the Second Mile
Episode 1: In Her Shoes; Paulette's Story
A young Haitian family takes charge of their future... or as much as one can during the current socio-political climate in Haiti. Gangs control the capital, the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic remains closed due to disputes between the two countries, and every day residents of Haiti are applying for visas to leave Haiti, hoping to leave the danger and chaos behind.
Meanwhile, there are young women like Paulette who have no one to send for them and are taking their chances in the northern city of Cap Haitien.
