Synopsis
In 'Zo Reken', eleven years after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the country remains in turmoil, grappling with extreme poverty and unemployment. Despite receiving billions in international aid, the capital, Port-au-Prince, is a stark reminder of the ongoing crisis. The documentary captures the daily lives of citizens navigating through barricades, garbage dumps, and congested streets, offering a raw and candid perspective on their struggles. As they interact with the passengers in the vehicle, their voices echo the frustrations and hopes of a population still reeling from the tragedy. Beautifully shot and accompanied by a lively score, 'Zo Reken' presents a complex portrait of Haiti's recovery efforts and the chaotic state of international aid, highlighting the disconnect between the aid provided and the reality faced by its people.
