A few famous and not-so-famous individuals have put their heads and hearts to the task of effecting radical change in Haiti, following the devastating earthquake of 2010.

This film is not filled with cynicism as are most documentaries about the help we send to developing countries. I love Sean Penn's sensitive and honest testimonial. The pictures are lovely. Some scenes seem to short. Some scenes about what was going on in the camps could have been a bit more developed. But if you are looking for a realistic look at what development work is all about, this is a good reference. There is no big drama other than the initial earthquake shot. Donna Karan could have been a been developed a bit more. I loved the reconstruction of the market scene. The music is truly lovely. One of the strong elements of this movie. Especially the Haitian signer songwriter title music recounting the earthquake. I thought I was going to see a bit more of the drama - inside the brokenness of the haitian people. But the driver was a very genuine character that you can get attached to. I recommend this movie.
