Marathoning for Mamba from mk smith on Vimeo.
This video shows the city and the countryside of Haiti so well; two very different parts of the country.
[See THIS blog post for MK's full explanation of this (her Master's degree) project and how it came about originally.]
MK came to shoot this story on Tara and RHFH in late 2009, shortly before the earthquake. It was done to promote Real Hope for Haiti and their awesome program that helps malnourished children in the mountains of Haiti. It focuses on a peanut butter product called Medika Mamba that is being produced in the northern part of Haiti.
