In Haiti, gang violence strains aid operations and demands new approaches
Reporting and Videography
Over a period of 6 months I worked on this story about youth and gangs, and how Haiti's future is tied to how well the needs of its children are met. For the documentary, we met with several current and former gang members, visited a correctional facility to speak with youth linked to gangs, and Cité Soleil where we spoke and met with a gang leader in an area called Ti Zile, Haitian Creole for 'small island'.
