A fascinating documentary!

I found this movie to be entirely interesting. This film is an first person perspective into the unforeseen complications a person, even one with best intentions, can run into when they approach trying to address Haitian issues with an American mentality.

The story is captivating and unfolds in a pretty dramatic manner. And the characters were super interesting too. You feel like you actually get to know them, warts and all.

I wish there were a whole series of movies like this. It would be interesting to get an inside look at the challenges and obstacles that must be navigated when taking on a project like trying to build a school in Haiti.

Very cool!
