World Humanitarian Day

 

As we see our screens filled with images from the devastating floods in Pakistan, it’s a timely reminder of the vital role that humanitarian aid workers play all around the world.

Hundreds of thousands of people around the working working tirelessly to save lives, create opportunities and fight poverty in some of the most difficult environments on the planet.

This short film was made for the the 2010 World Humanitarian Day project by our good friend, David Ohana, from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

It is a collaborative film shot in over 40 countries in under 9 weeks, on a shoestring budget - with the goal of showing the enormous diversity of places, faces and endeavors of humanitarian aid workers in 2010.

It was filmed by humanitarian staff and freelance filmmakers from around the globe (over 50 contributors in total) with all time donated.
