This interactive documentary follows the Black/African/Caribbean Diaspora from Toronto, Montreal and New York directly to the ground to Haiti where leads us to those who are still affected by the January 12th, 2010. We follow the Dia

spora connect who connect with Haitians on the ground still waiting for the global donations that haven’t reached them in the rebuilding process. We get direct window into the lives of Haitians who are continually working to rebuild their communities. This gives voice to grassroots community Haitian organizations and their ongoing struggles to gain resources for the rebuilding process. The story begins early morning in Brooklyn New York, as the team arrives at JFK airport for their direct flight to Port au Prince, Haiti. Through security directs the passengers through metal detectors onto the early flight on American Airlines. Hours later we touch done amongst the rubble, sounds of Port au Prince, ride along unpaved roads, Ayitien seems to come out from all directions. This interactive documentary aim is to build space for dialogue between people who want direct link to the work on being done on the ground in Haiti.

This is devastating news honour to have been able to meet with him on our 2011 Production trip, rise well 🕊️✊🏾

We are devastated to announce the passing of Mario Joseph, our colleague, friend, and one of the most courageous human rights lawyers Haiti has ever known.

Mario led the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux (BAI) for nearly three decades, securing justice for victims of political violence, UN cholera, sexual assault, and wrongful imprisonment. He stood firm through death threats, arrests, and worsening insecurity—never abandoning the fight for Haiti’s most vulnerable.

But beyond his historic victories, Mario’s true legacy lies in the people he trained and inspired: the lawyers at BAI, the grassroots activists in Haiti, and the global community of advocates he strengthened. His impact will endure in every courtroom battle for justice, every protest for democracy, and every young lawyer fighting for human rights.

We will soon share details about an online celebration of Mario’s life. In the meantime, we invite you to learn more about his extraordinary legacy: https://bit.ly/3XCssf5
