haiti
Join Dorothy Frederickson as she recalls her many visits to Haiti. If you love mountains you would love this country! In fact, the word Haiti means mountain. It is located on a tropical island which it shares with the Dominican Republic. It is where Christopher Columbus landed when he first came to North America. The later French Occupation left many rich historical sights to explore. It is also worthwhile to experience the cultural diversity of the people living there.

march 4
vietnam & cambodia
For anyone haunted by the images of the Vietnam War, this travelogue offers an alternative, healing view. It is a visit by two friends Carol Gnich and Pat Tomasik in 2011 which paints a very different picture by focusing on the natural beauty, cultural richness, welcoming spirit and rising energy of two nations recovering from tragic times. It will give the viewer a
broader and brighter version than one of war.
