Haiti: Day by Day

- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2022
- From one man’s promise to his father to a group of medical volunteers, Haiti: Day by Day captures the essence of human kindness. In 2014, Connecticut filmmaker Scott Sniffen started following a team of doctors, nurses and other medical volunteers to rural Haiti as they try to bring basic healthcare to areas where there are none. One leader of the group is Guinxe Gabriel, a Haitian American who never forgot the words of his father when he left Haiti at a young age, “Remember the others.”
Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere, has a long history of unrest, corruption and bloodshed, which continues today. The filmmakers are witness to life in the mountainous regions of the small Caribbean nation, where some areas compare to life during the 17th century. Despite impoverished living conditions and little to no support from their government, the smiling, friendly islanders meet the volunteers with open arms and are more than accepting to wait in the heat to be seen by a doctor, perhaps for the first time in their lives.
The film also reports on other sustainable efforts in Haiti, programs which incorporate Haitian doctors and volunteers into long-term efforts. And the film follows the group back to Guinxe’s childhood home in the mountains where his father ignited the dream so many years ago.
In the end, filmmaker Sniffen hopes to shine a light on a different Haiti than the one often seen in the media; a Haiti with smart, vigilant, capable and most of all friendly people, all with hopes and dreams like us all.
I'm Haitian I came to US after the 2010 earthquake and I live in connecticut since then .On behalf my Haitian brothers and sisters and myself are very greatful for everything you guys done and continue to do for Haiti. I really like to help , contribute or even volunteer and be a part of this.
Go back to Haiti they need people with your honesty and common sense.
Go back and rebuild your country? White people stayed and helped rebuild Europe after the World Wars but that doesn't seem to apply to men of color, who leave everyone behind including their own children just to save themselves. Your offer to help after you turned your back is meaningless.
It's okay. Don't do crime please.
How about return home and fix your country
Glad you are appreciative... you sound like a great addition to our country!.
My best quote “Don’t go where the path may lead you, go instead where there’s no path and leave a trail”. That’s exactly what this team did. Thank you.
Thats a poem by Robert Frost called Road Not Taken. cir 1915
This is the main reason for coming to earth is to help a fellow human being ....in return for inner peace 🕊️
I'm a mixed raced man from the UK. My fathers heritage is Jamaican. However over the years I've researched Haiti and I'm in awe of the Haitians. I'd love to see Haiti develope. In sha Allah I can contribute to it's development
When I seen that woman with cancer and all you could give her was Tylenol for pain, I cried. I lost my own husband to cancer and I know the excruciating pain that comes along with it towards the end. The last couple days of my husband life, he had “comfort meds” that kept him sedated, and here’s this poor lady who’s already lived a hard life and she won’t even be able to leave this world peacefully😢.
This brought tears to my eyes... When he said he don't understand how they can be so polite and nice understand such conditions. I truly pray Haiti gets the turnaround it truly needs.
🙏🏻
Truvico I also say the same thing as you do and I look forward to see Haiti 🇭🇹 develop in a future
My question is , with so many good , kind, intelligent people in the diaspora who care for Haiti and love their people why hasn't any diaspora Haitians gotten together and ask other countries for help and on of them runs for president and do the right thing for their people and their country. I know is not easy and is easy to say this but their has to be a way to clean up Haiti and start from scratch. For God sake there are only 10 millions Haitians in Haiti, I am sure the money exist to rebuild the country from scratch and the people just need a good leader who will guide them with love and good intentions for a better future. Praying for Haiti and its people. Blessings 🙏
@@marimartinez7351 very well said
WE CANT CHANGE THE WORLD, BUT IF WE OPEN OUR EYES AND SEE THE NEEDS OF OTHERS, IT WILL CHANGE US AND WE WILL SEEK TO HELP CHANGE THE LIVES OF THE LESS FORTUNATE. IN THE WORLD. LOVE YOU HAITI, YOU PEOPLE HELP RAISED MY CHILDREN AND THEY ARE THE BETTER FOR IT.
This video made me cry. It reminds me my old country and Haiti neighbor, Cuba. The only difference is Haitians are free to plant and harvest. In Cuba it is forbidden by people in power, the Cuban dictatorship .
Great documentary!!!
Cheers!!!💖💘❤️
That's the best documentary I've ever seen about Haiti. I couldn't stop crying when I saw it for the first time. You speak in a realistic way of this little impoverished country.
I learn english so that I find means to educate myself. I'am HAITIAN even after my death. May God bless Haiti and all benefactors !
I’m Dominican and I love Haiti. I helped in 2010 and will still keep helping this beautiful country.
And thanks to the Dominican Republic. The fight for a better future for Haiti 🇭🇹 will never stop until all the bad politicians and bad business figures are gone from our society.
This is great, We need 100,000 Haitian diaspora that think like you
Huuummm!!! Wake up 😭

Ya so that they can re elect democrats over and over until the country is no more
You cannot trust them! Go watch the 2004 documentary on Aids and how it came about. You cannot trust these people they the most manipulative on earth.
Thank you for making this documentary. It breaks my heart that Haiti is in such a bad state. My mother left Haiti with me and my 5 siblings when I was 4 years old and I never returned. My mother would visit every year to donate to the pregnant women waiting by the hospitals for over 15 years but it has gotten too bad for her to travel due to gangs and kidnapping so unfortunately she has not gone back for years now. I donate to two children monthly. It breaks my heart so bad, but God will prevail. Amen. Again, thanks for shedding a light. 🙏🏽
World would’ve been in a better place if it had these type of good hearted people…much respect for providing my Haitian ppl with some much needed help …thx a million ladies and gents
Great documentary, i went to Haiti with a group of healthcare professionals after the 2010 earthquake. It wasn't easy. We worked 16 hrs daily for 10 days straight at the state university hospital in Port-au-Prince. I feel you guys pain and frustration at the same time. We had the same exact experience. I would like to bring another team to help out again but safety is a great concern of mine. May God bless you all. Thank you on behalf of my people.🙏🏾💗
Thank you for your service
God bless you 😊
Thank you for your service! May ALLAH bless you
God bless these doctors and volunteers
This is a beautiful country.Haiti needs leadership.
I'm in tears 😭 so sad see innocent people suffering like this
Much respect and love for all the crew members that went to Haiti to help the people. Much love, much love
I love this documentary. It shows Haiti in a respectable way. Blessings in your work. I pray the best for Haitians. 🙌🏽
Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏👏.
This is crazy 😭😭 my beautiful Haiti 🇭🇹 😍 😭😭😭😭😭😭.
The way I am crying. Too many emotions. As the world is giving up hope on Haiti, thank you for finding her beauty. Haiti is a magical place… once you step foot on her soul, you will forever be bound to her. She is a country far too rich to be so impoverished… because unless we are speaking economically, there is not one single thing about Haiti that is poor. Thank you for the inspiration, and thank you for all that you do. This serves as a grave reminder that we the diaspora do not do enough 🙏🏽
When you have nothing you can't do anything more than smile, when you have a lot of things you have so many more options.
Thank God the baby lives.... and yes, I agree with you wholeheartedly. The world is broken.
Thank you for helping my country! Thank you for sharing the faces of my people to the world.

Me and my twin brother and were heavily dehydrated when we were born in Haiti. My brother didnt make it. I came to the US in 1990 joined the army, served 10 years obtained my MBA now I live with my wife and kids comfortably but its hard to help with organizations that take advantage of my people. Its nice to see people doing the work in my stead.
The world is definitely broken…. Brakes my heart to see people living like this in 2022’… stay strong 💪🏻 Haiti 🇭🇹
Jesus, help.us. Let us change, come to you.
Great video! I have been teaching English in Haiti via the internet and in person for over 10 years. I'm always happy to see other groups making a difference! Congratulations and may God continue to bless your work.
Hello
This is so beautiful. The Hatian people seem so loving and special. I wish my American people would be more like them.
When ur givin everything u tend to be spoiled,hence the American hating “Americans”
Americans aren't Haitians so why would they be like someone else's culture?
One of the most accurate documentaries I've seen on Ayiti in a while. Well done!
This documentary made me so sad and I cried. Thank you to those good sumaritans, the Doctors , nurses and caregivers volunteering to save lives. I hope the whole world will watch it, it certainly taught me a great lesson in life living on the other side of the world in Papua New Guinea (South Pacific), same skin colour and feathers.. I send my love and hugs to all the children.

My friend did medical missionary work in Papua New Guinea twice,wish I could have gone with her
This was eye opening and devastating but I needed to see this
Thank you for this beautiful unexpected document on Haiti ❤️
Giggs you made your mother and your father proud. But not only your parents. But you made your country proud. Good job giggs. God bless you.
Wooow this is a blessing god bless Haiti man it reminds me of how my country was back in 91 through the rest of the 90’s
This such a welcome relief from what we normally see about Haiti. More videos on the rural scene will
give us a better and deeper understanding of the Haitian people.
I agree.
Thanks God for this group who sacrifice their time resources and violence to help my brothers and sisters n Haiti 🇭🇹 hopefully I will able also such work give back to society
I have my younger brother living with cancerin Léogâne I spent so much money after finally know what they can do for him now there's no roads to take to bring him to the hospital.Thank you so much for loving my people.I couldn't hold my tears like you guys it is sad,many of you willing to help but with the gangs situations make it uneasy for you guys Thank you for good heart 💜❤️💜
The better Question to ask is WHY IS THERE SO MUCH GANGSTERISM? WHO sponsors MAFIOSOS all over the world?...it is NOT NECESSARY to bring WHITE teams to ACT OUT their WHITE agenda, and lead to premature death. If they want to help Haiyti in the Medical field, they simply open a MEDICAL SCHOOL and SPONSOR BLACK HAIYTIANS to study and care for their own people! This white "BIG BROTHER" presumed "BENEVOLENCE" is a CHARADE of LIES...SPONSOR GOOD EDUCATION and TRAINING, STOP sabotaging and PUPPETEERING their POLITICIANS,and STOP messing around with the ECONOMY in HAIYTI, and the people will do JUST FINE without this FAKE BENEVOLENCE, on their own! HAIYTIANS are MUCH HEALTHIER than many Euro-American PEOPLE! I am SURE if these POOR HAIYTIANS took a SIMILAR TRIP to Europe and American HOSPITALS and VILLAGES they would be SHCOKED at the AMOUNT of SICKNESS and HELPLESSNESS they would encounter among this WHITE benevolence!!...so this documentar is TOO SKEWED to tell a WHITE TALE than to tell THE TRUTH!
HAIYTINA are SO MUCH HEALTHIER, STRONGER and HAPPIER than the SO-CALLED "WHITE" volunteers! HAIYTI doesnt need DOCTORS and BIG PHARMA Cartels using "volunteerism" to ENCROACH on not just HAIYTI but BLACK AFRICA, to turn theminto BIG PHARMA CLIENTS, where they DO NOT NEED THEM! What HAIYTI needs is NOT THE BIOMEDICAL CARTEL, but ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT that the EUROPEAN and AMERICAN WHITE WORLD vowed they will NEVER ALLOW the HAIYTIANS to have (NAPOLEAN & JEFFERSON covenant!) and SHOW other BLACK COUNTRIES that they CAN DO WITHOUT WHITENESS! It is in the LATIN and HISPANIC self-interest to KEEP HAIYTI POOR as a way to FORCE their INTER-RACIAL ASSIMILADO agenda, to enable the DEVELOPMENT of A CONRADIAN QUANTITATIVE and QUALITATIVE GREAT WHITE RACE, and BENEFIT themselves at the expense of the BLACK HAIYTIAN!. To the WHITE world, BLACK HAIYTI and BLACK AFRICA is the "Messiah" of WHITENESS! And ANY BLACK country's "JIM(d*k) CROWS(blak)" like HAITI who REJECT the Inter-Racial HYBRIDITY narrative, are CODE NOIRED for EXTREME POVERTY to FORCE them to MIGRATE as POOR LABOUR and thereby FORCE them into HYBRIDIZATION! So it si NOT in the WHITE interest to enable HAIYTI to THRIVE even ON ITS OWN TERMS! If Haiyti PAID THE DEBT they NEVER OWED France, why do they continue to have ECONOMIC EMBARGOS, ECONOMIC ASSASSINS, ASSASSINATIONS of their PRO-BLACK PRESIDENTS, constant WHITE MADE-Nuclear-induced TSUNAMIS and EARTHQUARKS as well as GANGSTERISM-a classic work of Euro-American MAFIADOM against this CODE NOIR countries!---the ENTIRE BLACK WORLD KNOWS what WHITENESS does, they don't speak because WHITENESS continues to DEVELOP ARMS to ENSURE BLACKNESS will NEVER get out from UNDER their CONTROL and MANIPULATION and FORCED HYBRIDIZATION which obviously leads to the EXTINCTION of the BLACK RACE!...HAIYTI doesnt need the DOCTORS and the BIOMEDICAL BIG PHARMA CARTELS, what it needs is the ability to just get APPROPRIATE Education and TRAINING TO DO THEIR OWN lives!! and for ECONOMIC and POLITICAL cartels and assassins to LEAVE HAIYTI and BLACK AFRICA to pursue their lives without WHITE IMPOSITIONS!
I watched this to gain insight on the country and culture of Haiti for an assignment and it was absolutely awe inspiring. It makes you grateful and want to act.
This documentary is dope super informative. Hopefully more ppl see it.
A thousand thanks it’s enormous what you do for the Haitians.God bless you!🙏🏼🇭🇹🇫🇷
Haiti is a broken country, if we can have more people like those volunteers we can have a better Haiti. Much respect goes out to those volunteers who took their time just to help those who are in such dire need, Blessed love!
God bless everyone..your labour of live will not go unnoticed. Sending prayers and ❤.
Humbled... no doubt the best documentary I have ever seen on Haiti. A reminder to all of us what we have to be grateful for and to help those in need.
Thanks so much for the medical team for leaving their comfortable life behind for a few days and go and help those who truly needs help. That’s remarkable. Haiti should not be in this current situation in this day and age. The long term goal should be to help the people help themselves. They are very capable if afforded the means to do so. Shame on the government of Haiti, corrupt parties and the friend-enemies of Haiti for tolerating and allowing this living situations to continue. It doesn’t have to be that way. Haiti can be self-sufficient. Where’s our humanity and moral compass?
Thanks to all the volunteers 👏👏 thank you Gabriel for not forgotten where you come from
Mr. Gabriel may God bless you and keep you and your family safe for this great and mighty work that you and your team of Doctors have done
Fantastic people,,,,,thank you.....
Indeed "The World Is Broken" and Greed is the root cause. Thank you Volunteers for all that you do. Better days are ahead. Cheers!👊🏿🎩🥂
My respect for the Haitian people is much greater after watching this they are very resilient!
I really appreciate the sacrifices that you guys are doing to go help my people, I know it’s was a one day thing but it means so much for them. Our own government won’t do it for them but you guys left your comfort, your family, your country to go help them., it means so much. May Jehovah’s kingdom come to bring them the real help that they need
O god I feel it I have to be crying May god have mercy on us I am from Jamaica it almost the same we are proud and kind we need privilege keep up your great work god blessings and love 👍❤💯🏞
God blessings on your journey ❤👍💯
Heartbreaking 💔 but hopeful. Thank you for so much for helping us.
THANK YOU, All of you!😢
Love build bridges may God have mercy on us all 🙏🏾
" if you go and you make it remember the others "
Thank you so much guys for yall services ❤♥
That was beautiful
Beautiful documentary about the equally beautiful, proud, resourceful & determined people of Haiti. Mil gracias.
Thanks you so much guys
I'm from Puerto Rico, I cried so much, but I'm really proud of Haiti, God Bless them. They know how to survived I hope one they one person that win the lottery in USA, will build better places for them to live. Thank you for doing so much for them, God Bless you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is very well done, and I appreciate that the focus is on the Haitian people who would do for themselves as much as they could with the help of their neighbors and friends for that hand up. So much has been taken from Haiti, but the people still have that spirit to do for themselves and build for themselves. Our Haitian friends do not need to be pitied or to be rescued. They need dignity and agency and meaning, and what better way than to walk alongside for a bit until they can do it entirely on their own.
"Proud, Gracious, and Kind"...Yes! That is the people of Haiti, among them my beloved husband. THANK YOU to this great team of humanitarian medical personnel. Keep up the good works and God bless your efforts!
I teared up all through the video and seeing these great people volunteering for the people of Haiti made me happier than ever. I'm from Cameroon and we share the same struggles. Guinex's story was just another tear-dropping at the end of the video, he should be proud of his dad, and may his gentle soul rest in peace.
Watching from Australia 🇦🇺 Wonderful and endearing documentary. The news we hear outside of Haiti is about the corruption, environmental disasters, poverty and violence. Your documentary explained how from such tragedies the people of Haiti are strong determined, resourceful and resilient. Thank you to all involved👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks to our people that brought this group of medical doctors in Haiti to help our poorest communities in the countryside. They're all have in very good heart and compassion towards them, and a lot respect for them too. Good bless them all!!
I still wish that one day,Haiti will be fully in membership at the African Union,haitians are our people,far from home.
It’s beautiful that they have people that honestly want to go there and make a difference…..there’s an element of people that go there to do child trafficking and take a vantage of the people poverty ….so it’s beautiful to see some honest people
FREE HAÏTI CHÉRIE 💔🇭🇹
I'm in 29:14 deep in this documentary. ❤ And I'm smiling. I looking at the smiles on the faces of the boys, and girls in their school uniform. As I take in a deep breath. This is the way out. 🤔 Education is #1 , for my people. We firmly believe ,that is the one thing that can never be taken away from you....!
True. Even now things are still on the edge but with education we will move onward and forward. The fight must goes on.
Wow! This was an amazing video. I really enjoyed watching it. Prayers for Haiti.
Haiti forever changed me
Haiti have a Holy Blessed People. We have to continue to try and help them - as God is in Whom we are trusting
Thank you so much for your help, may Lord continue bless you.
😢 (Bringin' tears to my eyes)
Made it out the trenches 🙏🏾
Very emotional story...Haiti ou pap perie...I watched the entire video..some of Us are very fortunate and bless..it made me cry watching this..But thanks to you Guy'" volunteered to help" May the Lord bless...We want Haiti back on Her feet...
Excellent documentary. We need more people who share their time to help people in need. Very nice volunteers. Dario Mendoza (USA)/
It brings tears to my eyes I want to help that country to develop
Tremendous documentary. The Creator blesses these volunteers who decided to go to help people in different parts of Haiti thet
the Indians called Ayiti. Thanks to all the volunteers around the world. Darío Mendoza (USA).
This made me cry
God bless you guys!🙏 🙌 ❤
I remember my peaceful Haiti
This was definitely amazing to see. I am American born to Haitian parents. I hope to go to Haiti one day and really make a difference like this team. God bless you all.
Very inspiring. Thanks for all you all great collaboration and hard work. You all are special. Love you guys.
just came across this video today 1/1/23 and had to subscribe. Love the narrative and what you are doing there - the people of Haiti thanks you, and my God bless your work!
Awesome video on the real Haiti--thank you/meci ampil tout moun!! I have been on many medical mission trips to Haiti as a nurse/nurse practitioner since 2010 earthquake. Last trip was 2019-really miss them alot. Area traveled Artibonite Valley brings back trips to Hopital Albert Schweitzer and Gonaives,Haiti. Prayers and blessings for all Haitians. Patricia ferguson
I'm an Haitian and live in Haiti it's a great video I like the perspectives and the portrait that you give here. You didn't show it like we were hopeless and poor people who's always seeking and asking for money or food but you portrait us as people you portrait us as a country and if there something I want people to learn about this video is that Haiti is a warrior country a country of survivors a country of proud people
Hello guys dont forget that Venezuela is the best kept secret of the Caribbean region. In fact about 2,500-3,000 years ago, farmers and potters related to the Arawak-speakers of northeast of actual Venezuela established a pathway into the Caribbean. Using the delta fingers of Orinoco River Basin like highways, they travelled from the interior to coastal Venezuela and pushed north into the Antilles islands of the Caribbean Sea, settling Puerto Rico and eventually moving westward. Their arrival ushered in the region’s Ceramic Age, marked by agriculture and the widespread production and use of pottery.
Over time, nearly all genetic traces of Archaic Age people vanished, except for a holdout community in western Cuba that persisted as late as European arrival. Intermarriage between the two groups was rare, with only three individuals in the study showing mixed ancestry.
Many present-day Cubans, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans are the descendants of ancient people from Venezuela , as well as European immigrants and enslaved Africans. But researchers noted only marginal evidence of Archaic Age ancestry in modern individuals.
And even today, with economic crisis happening in Venezuela, the Antilles is seeing an influx of alot of South Americans (mainly Venezuelans) on the islands. In a couple years, if this trend continues, the whole demographic landscape of the islands can change again.
I absolutely loved this documentary. Wished I can volunteer as well. You shall prevail one day Haiti❤.
17:34 …because when you have nothing to lose, you look around and see yourself still here, you smile and give thanks to GOD Most high.
😢this was great 🙏🏾✊🏿
Good work!
this touched me heart, thankyou to those beautiful people who went there and touched the hearts of these people......x
literally in tears!!!!!oh my god
Thank you for your help ❤😢
God bless Mr and Mrs Gabriel
Gracious such a shame w those corrupt politicians n Haiti 🇭🇹 such a nice and beautiful country. I pray for my co
Thank you for your service! May God forever bless Haiti 🇭🇹 ❤
Pride is NOT the reason that Haitians stoically bear their suffering. The truth of Haitians strength is that they don't know anything other than daily suffering for survival; this life of daily struggle from before birth and thru childhood develops a resilient character that knows to live is to fight for life every single day. To think for a moment that this strength comes from any other source than survival mentality is racism.
This was such a beautiful documentary! Thank you for sharing.
Jehovah bless you for the work you do
