Haiti: Holdup

Darren Ell works primarily in portraiture and documentary reportage. The documentary project as shown in the catalogue explores the development of a social program in Haiti. His documentary coverage of the impact of the 2004 coup d’état in Haiti was published in a full online dossier with the National Film Board of Canada’s CitizenShift and with the Haiti Information Project, where it was the winner of a 2008 Project Censored Award for its coverage of one of the most important under-reported stories in the world. His stories on Haiti were picked up by independent news sites around the world, including Rabble.ca, Global Policy Forum, Pacific Free Press, Open Salon and many others.
