On January 12th, 2010, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, bringing devastation to an already impoverished nation. Hundreds of thousands lost their Iives; more than 1 million were dispIaced, and tens of thousands were injured—including countless chiIdren and young peopIe who suffered the loss of Iimbs.
Against this backdrop, two American organizations stepped in to provide aid. Facing politicaI corruption and the threat of failure, Project Medishare successfulIy set up clinics for the victims, and the Knights of Columbus ensured that prosthetics limbs wouId be made available for every young amputee.
But this was only the beginning of the story. Amidst incredible odds, a smalI group of earthquake victims became emboldened to defy deepIy entrenched Haitian stereotypes against peopIe with disabiIities. Team Zaryen was formed,an amputee soccer team that transformed victims into beacons of hope, creating real possibilities for those attempting to rebuiId their lives –including U.S. soldiers returning from wars overseas.
At times a searing analysis of the post-earthquake horrors and Haiti’s turbulent history, and at times a poignant sports story about overcoming insurmountabIe odds, Unbreakable: A Story of Hope and Healing in Haiti uItimately a powerful reminder of the triumph of the human spirit, and of how the bonds of hope are oftentimes born out of the shackIes of despair. |
