A news cameraman covering the Haiti earthquake must choose between doing his job and helping the victims he encounters.

  1. Ads being played, literally every 2 to 3 minutes, really distracts from the momentum of this film. Otherwise, it would have been a good watch. I suggest you download it and watch it without the disruptions, as it's still a good film worth watching. Hopefully the channel owner(s) will address this issue for future videos.

  2. We pray for all the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. May the Lord help and comfort their families.
    What an awesome movie. This world is broken and showing more of the love of Jesus will do.❤❤❤

  4. I contacted a couple of engineers after this earthquake and asked them if they thought it was natural. They said that it had signs of being deliberately set off by an earthquake machine. It had a 20 mile radius in Port-au-Prince, confined to a small area, which is not natural. A natural earthquake would have affected the Dominican Republic, as well. Haiti is rich in minerals, both on land and off of its coast.

    I watched a video shot by a young woman who went there independently. She reported that the UN kept relief supplies locked up behind fences at the airport. People were eating chalk because they had no food. In the refugee camps, men stood guard over the water and extorted sex from women in exchange for water. She said that the UN did nothing to stop this abuse and other rapes.

  5. I have this film on DVD. This is one of the absolute best short films ever! The making-of DVD extras are even more amazing, if you can believe it. (By the way, this film came out in 2010, not 2023, so it is thirteen years old this year. ) The filmmakers couldn't actually film in Haiti, especially at the time, so they had to look for another option. Amazingly, they found a couple who owned a ranch, who were willing to let them borrow the land to meticulously recreate a section of "Haiti" to make their film. The beginning of the story shows news filmmaker, Ray, shooting footage of the chaos and people's vulnerability and fresh grief. In real life, the director, David DeVos, actually had gone to Haiti about 12 days after the original earthquakes had happened. He was filming the destruction, when he was prompted by the horror he saw to finally put down the camera and help. In the film, Ray is shown wearing a red bandana around his neck. In the B-roll footage that someone else took of David, he is seen wearing a red bandana. Basically, Ray is David, in a sense. The finished product is inspired by the director's own experiences.
