Join us for a showing of "How (Not) to Build a School in Haiti" with a panel featuring Director Jack Newell and Producer Dinesh Sabu!

Development, history, and colonialism collide when a seemingly simple aid project spirals out of control in Haiti. When a headstrong American clashes with Haitian leader, it forces a reckoning on privilege and power.
