Episode 1: “Haiti” Premieres Wednesday, May 24, 2023 at 10 p.m. on KPBS TV + Encore Sunday, May 28 at 10 p.m. on KPBS 2 - Romesh gets an insider's guide to Haiti to find out if his preconceptions about the Caribbean island are right, or if there is more to the country than the sensational headlines he has seen on the news. Everything Romesh has ever heard about Haiti has been negative. They had a dictator who terrorised the island, a 2010 earthquake that crippled the country and then a devastating hurricane.
