In February 2010, nearly one month after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the National Black Programming Consortium (NBPC) sent Haitian born filmmaker, Michèle Stephenson, along with a team of media makers to Haiti to capture the stories of the survivors. In January 2011, on the one year anniversary of the earthquake, NBPC will release “The Haiti Project” a multimedia website that presents the poignant stories of the country’s survivors from their own perspectives.
The project includes Stephenson’s short film, HAITI: ONE DAY, ONE DESTINY, which interweaves these testimonials and is part of NBPC’s 2011 AfroPop television broadcast series.
For over fifteen years, Michèle Stephenson has produced and directed non-fiction film and new media, using her eclectic background and prior international experience as a human rights attorney to tackle stories on communities of color and human rights. In addition to documentary films, Stephenson has used video and the internet to structure human rights campaigns and train people from across the globe in video internet advocacy. Her work has appeared on PBS, Showtime, MTV and other broadcast, cable and digital outlets.
