Film Uncovers A Battle for Privilege and Power as Aid Effort Builds New School in Haiti

What seemed like a simple international aid project spirals out of control. How (Not) to Build A School in Haiti details the long and complicated process it took to build a new school in a rural town north of the country’s capital, Port-au-Prince. The project comes to a sudden halt when a headstrong American construction worker clashes with a Haitian leader. Reset talks with a Chicago-based filmmaker and a Haitian creole translator about how the development process comes to life on screen.
