From 1993. Violence is surging the streets of Haiti. The military and mobs rule the country while the democratically elected president Jean Bertrand Aristide remains in exile. Thousands have died in the violence following a military coup and the military has installed its own prime ministers in the interim, Jean-Jacques Honorat and Marc Bezin. Now tens of thousands of Haitian refugees are fleeing to the United States. The Fifth Estate examines how much of the problems in Haiti are the fault of the U.S.

The Trouble with Evan is a two-hour special edition of the Fifth Estate. It reveals how much harm can be done to a child by the people who love him the most. For 14 weeks cameras were placed in the home of a family in Hamilton, Ontario whose 11-year-old boy has been a problem for them since he was in kindergarten. The cameras capture the troubling, abusive and at times loving family relationship. Evan cannot control his behavioral problems. He shoplifts, smokes, sets fires, extorts money, bullies, and runs away from home. His mother, Karin and stepfather Michael try to find ways to control their son. There is yelling and screaming, threats, verbal and physical abuse. They also try new techniques taught to them by therapists and parenting classes. The life of Evan is placed alongside the stories of a group of young offenders undergoing an innovative therapy treatment program called Portage, at a correctional centre in Elora, Ontario. They talk of childhoods scarred by abuse, lack of communication and lack of attention. There is fear these traits could be carried over to their adulthood and passed onto their children.
