The Road To Fondwa Film Preview

See the Road To Fondwa: A Documentary Film

Synopsis:
Up against centuries of oppression, an unforgiving mountainous environment, decimated natural resources, and a centralized state government that offers little or no development assistance to rural communities, the people of Fondwa have taken matters into their own hands.
Leaders and dreamers and dedicated workers.
Children, mothers, priests, and students.
Haitians, Cubans, Americans and French - all pitching in for a better tomorrow.
With unprecedented access to the entire Fondwa community, The Road to Fondwa weaves the seasoned voices and stunning imagery of Fondwa into a tangible story that challenges the status quo of international development and seeks to inspire a new paradigm of international cooperation - one founded on true partnership and understanding.
