How (Not) to Build a School in Haiti (2022)
Fascinating
7 May 2024
Fascinating if ultimately heartbreaking account of the struggle to offer help in a country that can barely help itself. I couldn't help but see parallels with the current and future state of the US. Newell and his crew have done a remarkable job of hanging with a story that seems at times to be tantalizingly close to a constantly elusive resolution. See this one. And quickly since Haiti is in a state where all of our eyes need to be on her. The recent unrest, like the natural disaster at the heart of this story, is as damaging to both the infrastructure and the soul of this island. That Newell is able to view it with compassionate objectivity is a real accomplishment.
