Holy Crap!
The Film
What if every time we flush a toilet, we're wasting a precious resource? Does poop hold the key to global sustainability? In Haiti, an organization called SOIL (Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods) is transforming human waste into fertilizer. www.oursoil.org
Holy Crap!
Throughout the world, more than 2.6 billion people live without access to a toilet. Just imagine what you would do without a toilet!!!! But even in developed countries like the U.S., sanitation issues reek havoc on our resources, as every flush of our modern toilets requires 5 gallons of water! The droughts of recent years throughout the United States is evidence enough of a need to conserve water.
Stop the flush! Save the stuff.......

Day 6: Today we followed the "poop mobile" again but this time to the dumping site, which SOIL had only recently purchased. This is where they were beginning to develop the compost bins to store the developing fertilizer while it heats up and all the pathogens die off so that the compost can be used safely. The staff is so dedicated to this rather unlikely job, as they fully understand the beauty and simplicity of it and to the power of reclaiming Haiti's future by developing soil for agriculture. It was a fun day and on the way home we stopped to get a cold beer. Prestige!!! (Haiti's award-winning beer is hard to beat, especially after a long hard day in the hot sun.....)

Day 5: We spent the day following the drum collectors, getting more footage of their hard work and of the SOIL "poop mobile" lumbering through town with its cargo......

Day 4: We spent some time looking for opportunities to hear people singing in the churches. When you are in Haiti, you are hearing music pretty much 24/7, and it is not quiet. People are singing in chorus in some church nearby almost all the time!!! So we went looking to get some of the audio from one of these churches but somehow failed to get there in time, as it was a Sunday and we got a late start and by the time we arrived where we were going, all the folks were leaving the church! So we instead headed up the Petionville to get some wide-shots of Port au Prince and see some of the artwork and crafts by local artisans. Afterwards we drove across town to a beautiful piece of land that Daniel's organization had purchased, where we filmed Daniel talking about how they were planning to use the soil from SOIL's toilets to develop gardens. It was a long but fun day......
