The Agronomist Documentary - Jean Dominique

A great documentary about Jean Dominique's struggle - a Haitian agronomist turned civil rights activist and radio broadcaster of Haiti's first independent radio station. He was highly critical of the Haitian government (at the time) but he also delivered global news to the Haitian people as well. He typically spoke on behalf of the poor and dispossessed of Haiti. Jean was shot dead due to his unwavering dedication to the ideals of democracy, free speech and an open and uncensored press

Here is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlB7Y7xDB6U&feature=related
You can definitely rent this from the library and should be able to find on Netflix as well.
