Good intentions and billions of promised dollars only go so far. That, certainly, is one of the sobering truths in “Fatal Assistance,” a potent, persuasive and quietly furious documentary that examines how international aid agencies failed Haiti after the catastrophic 2010 earthquake. That disaster, which was followed by other calamities, including a cholera outbreak, left an estimated quarter-million people dead and more than a million temporarily or permanently homeless. People and organizations across the world pledged help, and money started to flood in along with journalists, religious workers, relief groups, Bill Clinton and Sean Penn.
