Haiti Under Papa Doc Duvalier: Poverty, Voodoo Symbolism, and Tonton Macoute Rule
United States - Circa 1980: Footage shows Haiti under Francois “Papa Doc” Duvalier: voodoo rites and volunteer medics, malnutrition and life expectancy near 42, market vendors surviving on about 70 dollars a year, a decaying Port-au-Prince versus wealthy suburbs, the short-lived Duvalierville project, armed police and Tonton Macoute enforcing rule, palace pomp masking firing-squad terror, and a rare interview where Duvalier denies despotism.
