Haiti: Witness To Disaster

CNN Press Release: CNN correspondents share personal stories of covering Haiti in new half-hour documentary

One month after the devastating Haiti earthquake, CNN correspondents look back, look ahead, and share their unique personal stories of covering a catastrophe.



In Witness to Disaster, Anderson Cooper, Sanjay Gupta, Jonathan Mann, Karl Penhaul, Ivan Watson and others share the most memorable moments they experienced while reporting from Haiti. What were the most compelling stories they covered? Who were some of the unforgettable people they met? How did this disaster compare to others they've witnessed?

They also tell us of the challenges that lie ahead – how are the people doing, one month on? How long will it take them to rebuild their lives? And what will become of them, once the world's attention starts to drift away?

Witness to Disaster premieres on CNN International on Saturday, 20 Feb at 1230 ET / 1730 GMT / 1830 CET.
