This documentary explores the work of Dr. Tiffany Keenan, a physician from Miramichi, New Brunswick, who has begun a medical mission in the Haitian fishing village of Bod Me Limbe. It examines the huge challenges she has faced in setting up a clinic in a place without electricity or running water, as well as the volunteer team members' reactions to the poverty and injustices they find.
The poor Haitians are promised a better life in the Dominican Republic, smuggled across the boarder and then set up on sugar plantations where they have no official papers so they have no power and thus are paid poorly and live in abhorrent conditions.
No matter what they do, stay in their own country or try for something better...it is so unfair...
