About this episode

We trace how the 1915 U.S. occupation seized Haiti’s gold, reworked its laws, and built security forces that later empowered dictatorship, then follow the same logic into the earthquake era and the politics of foreign aid. The story connects sovereignty, profit, and the long afterlife of imposed institutions. Have feedback? Send us a Text and Interact with us!
