When Morgan Wienberg, a well-meaning Canadian teenager, volunteers at a Haitian orphanage in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, she finds her plans different from reality. She is part of an army of non-governmental organizations and volunteers with billions in promised aid, all rushing to respond to the disaster. But once on the ground, she begins to see their earnest actions have devastating impacts.
Determined to make a more meaningful difference, Morgan stays in Haiti and through footage that spans a decade, we watch Morgan challenge her own perceptions and privilege to become a more meaningful ally to the Haitians working to build a better future. This is Morgan’s story. But it’s also about us, rethinking how we help and give.
