On the 12th January 2010 a major earthquake struck southern Haiti violently and caused massive loss of life, injury and destruction of buildings, power lines and communication systems inflicting what Haiti’s ambassador to the United States called a catastrophe for the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation.This documentary shows the situation in Haiti a year after the earthquake and addresses the possibilities for the rebuilding. They need external help but Haitians can and should also participate in the effort. The good news is that many are already doing so.
