The Cine Students decided it should be an all-girl crew, which Michaelle Jean loved. Paula Hyppolite was interviewed about women’s issues in Haiti, Jocelyne Firmin about violence in the tent camps, and Keziah Jean about her experience meeting Michaelle Jean.

Je vous felicite pour votre role dans la reconstruction de Jacmel et aussi pour le reportage des nouvelles de Jacmel en images. Etant une Jacmelienne ne a Jacmel, J’ai essaye pendant plusieurs jours apres tremblement de terre d’avoir des nouvelles de ma ville natale. Une fois que j’ai eu des nouvelles, j’ai ete frustree de savoir que la ville n’a eu aucune aide les jours suivants le seisme. De toute facon, tout cela c’est du passe. Nous devons maintenant utiliser notre energie pour aider Jacmel a se relever encore plus fort de cette catastrophe.
Puisque vous avez un site pour collecter des dons, je me demande si vous etes en collaboration avec une organization comme par example l’habitat for humanity. Je sais qu’ils aident a la reconstruction d’Haiti mais je ne sais pas s’ils sont a Jacmel aussi. Cela m’aiderait beaucoup si vous pourriez vous renseigner a ce sujet. Merci et bonne chance.
Michaell Jean is waisting her Gouvernorship, showing little spine in general to the rightwing primeminister and his pals, and nothing to speak of re: Haiti, her home. I do hope that something positive for Haiti may come out of this closeness with her ’sisters’ from Jacmel… I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST WITH THE REPORTAGE AND WITH HER!!! You are a truly beautiful crew!
