Little David works as a guide at a sacred waterfall in Saut D’Eau, Haiti. Thousands of Catholics and Vodouisants flock to the waterfall each year seeking divine healing. The short film explores the boys who work informally at tourist attractions such as these, and the complex power dynamics in its midst.
