About this movie
CALL FOR HELP is a feature-length documentary that provides a rare glimpse into the operations of a guerrilla-style NGO, the Global Disaster Immediate Response Team (Global D.I.R.T.), in the aftermath of one of the deadliest disasters in modern history - the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
Without substantial funding or a celebrity spokesperson, this group of young individuals resorts to an ‘ends justify the means’ method to deliver relief. Their 'snatch and grab' approach fits well in the chaos of post-earthquake Haiti, and what started out as a group of self-proclaimed troublemakers quickly turns into key players in the rescue and rebuilding of Haiti – saving numerous lives, earning respect from the locals and gaining recognition from the largest organizations operating on the island.
CALL FOR HELP is not a story about Haiti, nor it is a story about the work being done in Haiti. This is a story about the people who do the work and the reasons, conflicts, failures and dreams that brought and kept them there.
