NEW YORK — “We Are the World: 25 for Haiti” director Paul Haggis was responsible for putting together the visuals for the remake of the iconic musical hit. In the spirit of the original version’s charitable effort for Africa, the new effort was created to help the survivors of Haiti’s massive earthquake last month.
So, to make sure the new “We Are the World” video resonated with viewers, Haggis used Haitian film students as part of his crew.
Future filmmakers from the Ciné Institute in Jacmel, Haiti, helmed cameras of their own as they not only captured behind-the-scenes footage of the all-star cast, but provided the images from the wake of the earthquake that lit up the screens behind the musicians.
