A treasure trove of Haitian short films!

Filmmaker Michele Stephenson has a treasure trove of brilliant short films that I absolutely love. Most relevant today is "Delmas 54" which looks into Haitian-Dominican relations through the eyes of volunteers. 

Stephenson is 1/2 of the filmmaking team behind "American Promise" a documentary on the state of the educational system in the U.S. "American Promise" screened at the Sundance Film Festival, was picked up by PBS and was nominated for 3 Emmys.
