Every two weeks, about 50 haitian nationals are deported from the United States. Among those, 46% were legal residents who broke american laws. They were sentenced, 31% for possession or sale of narcotics, 3% for homicide, less than 2% for kidnapping, and completed their jail time in the USA. This trailer of a movie in the making documents deportees who had left Haiti when children or teenagers and who at some point of their new life in the United States broke the law. A deportation order they could no more overturn legally was added to their jail sentence.
At least, 5000 of them are currently living in Haiti. Being Haitian-Americans they sense a part of themselves has been amputated and in a lot of cases fail to truly reintegrate their native land.
