Haina: City of Poison
Fifteen miles from Santo Domingo is the town of Haina. A documentary about Haina talks about the environmental devastation that has wrecked havoc on the town.

wow !!!!!! that made me sick just to watch the video...CNN should be contacted about this
Such a shame......a beautiful country of beautiful people contaminated by industrialization due to tourism, development, profit and "modernization."
We MUST learn to basically and minimally live our lives in harmony and with respect to nature and our natural being. My God.....will this continue throughout the beautiful Caribbean in the name of "progress." Very upsetting......... Sensibility has taken absence.
The documentary is just so sad and unbelieveable and to think young children and being born into this society and raised up there, how sad. Where is the President and authorities who could do something about this??? turning there heads in a different direction, no doubt.Something should be done to help these poor people. Where is the Roman Catholic Cardnial Lopez of Santo Domingo??? He should see this and try and reninder some support and aid for these poor souls, instead a making his negative nasty statements about the gay people of the world.Yes Cardinal Lopez do the right thing for people who are in need, right there on your front door step.
Are you kidding? Cardinal Lopez can't be bothered with trivial stuff like that. He has better things to do. Like blasting gays from his pulpit. And collecting money from the citizens of the DR.Rich and poor alike.
Thanks for highlighting this environmental and human tragedy. I hope these guys' documentary gets wide play and provokes discussion in DR and elsewhere. The really sad thing is that it's mirrored all over the world, including all across the USA.

This blog documents the journey, warts and all. I want to encourage people to seek out a life that makes you happy.

Is that the industrial stuff you can see off in the distance from the beach at Boca Chica?
