Through the month of February 2012 I lived in the small mountain village of Robert Haiti, photographing and filming the everyday life of the people there. Verbal interactions were limited, communication was mostly through facial expression and body language. The field workers are up at 4:45am to the sound of horn blasts, they cultivate the land with four foot iron rods until midday when it is too hot to work and return in the afternoon until it is too dark to see. Children that are too young to work the fields watch over the younger ones and walk several miles a day down the face of the mountain, often barefoot, carrying buckets of water back home for drinking, cleaning and cooking. If their families can afford it; they walk several miles to a neighboring town for school. they dream of becoming doctors so they can help their families and care for their parents
