Due to the rugged shooting conditions, much post-audio work was needed, of nearly every imaginable sort! The best part about that is... that's the way we like it.

While much of the World is in turmoil these days, it always seems the people of Haiti go unnoticed and under-helped. This film shines a bright light on the sadness and suffering, perpetually heaped on top the people of Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. An ex-cop, tired of the corruption - a controversial figure known as Barbecue, says he knows the way forward for a Haiti that can exist without this perpetual suffering. Some say a hero…some say a villain. Watch the film and decide for yourself.
