Within days of the Jan. 12 earthquake that devastated the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, correspondent Martin Smith and his team were in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. What they found was chaos, poorly coordinated relief efforts, and survivors bereft of food, water, and shelter. What could the international community have done better, and what opportunities does the recovery effort present for building a new Haiti? Frontline talks to Haitian President René Préval; U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; and others. Tuesday, March 30, at 9 p.m., PBS; check local listings
