Coming in February – Interview with Patrick Shen
On January 12, 2010, Haiti suffered one of the greatest natural disasters ever to occur. A 7.0 magnitude earthquake shattered and destroyed the small nation, not to mention the lives, homes, and spirits of its people. In an already ravaged nation, food became scarce. Hope, even scarcer.
But where water runs, life flows. Film-maker, Patrick Shen, followed the lives and stories of two brothers taking the tragedy of the world upon their shoulders, and what unfolded was a back-breaking journey across two continents to bring the simplest of necessities to the greatest number of people.
La Source, directed by Shen and produced by Jordan Wagner, documents the trials, tribulations, and victories – both large and small, in a place where victories have always been hard to come by. MaleStandard sat down with Shen and Wagner to talk about La Source, Haiti, the meaning of it all, and where to go from here.
