“MAKARIOS: A RISING TIDE” is a High Definition documentary that explores the story of Makarios. Shot on location in the Dominican Republic by a team of seasoned veterans, the program will introduce viewers to the daily struggles of these villagers, the animosity between Dominicans and Haitians and a seemingly endless cycle of extreme poverty. Viewers will get an inside look at this remarkable school and the ways in which it’s fostering harmony and raising the next generation out of the grips of hunger and disease. Through on-camera interviews, this documentary will provide insight from the school’s founder and the teachers who have given up the luxury of life in the USA to live among bitterly impoverished villagers. It is their story of gritty humanitarianism that will grip the heart. They are making a difference, one little child at a time.
