The film was very interesting. It raised awareness about the disaster and rescue efforts in Haiti and really gave a sense of what it was like for the Haitian people. The film was inspiring. I remember at one part of the film they showed trucks lined up for miles in the Dominican Republic trying to get supplies in to Haiti. They said that some of the people had to wait up to 18 hours just to get into Haiti with their supplies. They also said that planes had to wait up to an hour in the air just to land in Haiti. It was amazing to see the international effort to help this country in need. The pilot said that the rescue relief efforts were almost like the opposite of war because there were so many countries sending relief.

Viewing the film was definitely a thought provoking experience. My son asked me questions the entire car ride home. My favorite was, “You know mom, I have a lot of toys at home. Do you think I could send some to Haiti?” Since the film inspired my son to want to get involved, it must have had an impact on the adults as well. In fact at the end of the film, everyone just sat there as if they were waiting on more or something else to happen. I was a little disappointed that there was not more networking at the end of the movie. However, it was a great idea to bring some of the people that are participating and want to participate in the Haitian relief efforts together. The free screening was also a great way to promote the film; especially since 10 percent of all of the proceeds from the movie get donated back to the Red Cross.
