EXPEDITION AYITI, 41min., USA, Documentary

Directed by Richard Serrao

Ayiti, the native Taino people’s word for Haiti, translates to “land of high mountains.” The dominant narrative portrays Haiti as a land of natural disasters, corruption, and poverty — in essence, a story that masks its truth. Enter Expedition Ayiti, an experience borne from a passion to hike, to journey, and seek an expanded understanding of our world. Perhaps a hike with a stranger is all it takes. Come, join the adventure!
