Cooking in the Danger Zone - Series 3 - Mexico and Haiti

Logo for Cooking in the Danger Zone - Series 3 - Mexico and Haiti

Food writer Stefan Gates investigates how the US influences the way people eat and live in Haiti and Mexico. Free trade means that cheap US food has flooded both countries, forcing the collapse of agriculture in Haiti and starting a revolution over food and land in Mexico. Stefan tries mud cake, moonshine, sacrificial blood, ant larvae and fly eggs, and meets rebels, voodoo priests and white witches: all of them ordinary people leading extraordinary lives.
