Follow the resilience of the Madan Sara, in this special documentary screening for International Women’s Day.

On International Women's Day, we spotlight the Madan Sara of Haiti, resilient women who work tirelessly day in and day out to ensure that food in Haiti makes its way to market. Despite facing intense hardship through poverty, social stigma and sometimes even the threat of violence, their work in food distribution provides not only for their families but also makes them one of the most critical parts of the Haitian economy.

Awards won include:

Berlin Indie Film Festival | Best Director, Short Documentary.
Independent Short Awards | Gold Award Best Women Short.

The Madan Sara documentary amplifies the women’s’ voices, highlighting their vital contributions and dreams for a more just Haiti, all while working at the margins to make Haiti’s economy run.
