The earthquake that devastated Haiti a year ago exacerbated one of the nation’s most wrenching problems—its epidemic-level population of orphans. Filmed in the northern city of Cap-Haitien, this affecting documentary follows three of Haiti’s estimated 1 million orphans as each struggles to get by in a poverty-ravaged nation. An hour before Children of Haiti airs, Frontline examines one of the greatest threats to Haiti’s stability as it rebuilds: criminal gang members who escaped prison en masse in the chaos that followed the quake. Tuesday, Jan. 11, at 10 p.m., PBS; check local listings
