At least 200,000 people are dead in the Capitol alone; devastation in the South, in Leogane, Les Cayes, and Jacmel, the total devastation of what people have worked their lives for is wiped out. In Port Au Prince everything collapsed: 400,000 need to be relocated, there are millions homeless, untold numbers with amputated limbs, hundreds of thousands right now dying without access to water, food, shelter and medical treatment. Many more will starve, die from the lack of adequate medical treatment, turn to violence for the lack of basic survival and at some point, the unthinkable may happen, the world could turn its back.

Leo Casino and this project will donate all proceeds of the film to the construction of the Hospital, subsequent revenues from the additional documentaries will also go to support the people of Haiti in their full recovery. Leo has recorded 30 original songs for the movie; he will release a soundtrack with proceeds again going to the Hospital fund.
