The moving tale of an eight-year struggle in a country on the brink of collapse.

2010: an earthquake strikes Haiti, followed eight months later by a cholera epidemic of unprecedented severity. Cholera specialist Renaud Piarroux soon finds himself deep in the heart of a global political and scientific scandal when he discovers that UN forces brought the disease to Haiti. To escape blame, the UN called on scientific experts to spread the false notion that the epidemic was a "natural consequence" of climate change. Piarroux recounts his hope and anger, unafraid to accuse the cowardly and praise the brave.
