BBC Two - This World, Surviving Haiti

Following the lives of four people rescued from the rubble of the Haiti earthquake.

Filmed over the six months after the Haiti earthquake, This World follows four of the few who were rescued from a death beneath the rubble.

The earthquake that struck Haiti on 12 January caused death and destruction on a massive scale. Tens of thousands were killed instantly, thousands of others were buried under the rubble and a lucky few were dug out alive. 

Filmed over the six months after the disaster, This World follows four of the few who were rescued from a death beneath the rubble: a three-year-old child, a musician, a student and a family whose daughter was rescued after nine days. 

Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world, was ill-equipped to cope with a catastrophic earthquake. But as the months pass, the film shows that life for its survivors is hard, but not without moments of hope.
