Christopher Hartley
Christopher Hartley (born 1959) is a British-Spanish Catholic missionary priest who labored from 1997 to 2006 among the Haitian sugar cane workers of the bateyes in Los Llanos in the municipality of San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican Republic to bring more humane conditions to their lives and work. His work in the Dominican Republic was portrayed in the film ''The Price of Sugar'' (2008), produced and directed by Bill Haney.
==Life among the poor==
Father Hartley, having grown up in a wealthy family in England, chose to become a priest at the age of 15. He worked for many years with Mother Teresa in Calcutta and with Latino immigrants in the Bronx.
His activism to improve living and working conditions of Haitian immigrants brought him into confrontation with the Vicini family that owns the sugar plantations in Los Llanos, and one of the wealthiest and most influential families of the Dominican Republic.
In September 2006 he accompanied a delegation of US congressmen to assess the living conditions of the Haitian migrants.〔(Haitiwebs.com ) accessed on January 17, 2010〕
