Join us for this film presentation followed by panel discussion featuring film director Michele Mitchell and other Haiti witnesses.

The 2010 earthquake in Haiti prompted an unprecedented outpouring of aid. Yet today in Haiti, hundreds of thousands still live in squalid camps. Too little housing has been built. What happened?

Michele Mitchell is the executive editor of Film at Eleven and the filmmaker behind the 2012 PBS special “Haiti: Where Did the Money Go?” The film started out as a web series on the Film at Eleven channel. She produced the short web documentary “Reporting for Duty” (which also aired on PBS) and executive produced the popular web series “The Zeroes,” among others. Previously, Mitchell was the investigative correspondent on ‘NOW with Bill Moyers’ (PBS), where she won a Gracie Award and an honorary citation at the Overseas Press Awards, and political anchor at CNN Headline News. She is the author of three books, including the novel ‘The Latest Bombshell,’ and has written for the New York Times, Washington Post and ‘All Things Considered’ on NPR. A graduate of Northwestern University, she began her career on Capitol Hill. Michele Mitchell is currently working on a film about access to water.
