zo reken (Shark's Bone) is the nickname given in Haiti to the Toyota Land Cruiser, a powerful all-terrain vehicle much in demand by the international humanitarian organizations that have been omnipresent in the country since the 2010 earthquake. Ten years on, in a country in turmoil and more gridlocked than ever, a zo reken has been diverted from its usual use to become a mobile meeting and discussion place for Haitians. No more foreign aid workers are allowed on board. The driver carries on a conversation with his passengers, all citizens of Port-au-Prince, as he tries to make his way through the barricades and demonstrations. They talk about the state of the country, neo-colonialism and humanitarian aid, and the anger mounts: against the incumbent president who has lost the population's trust, against the international community's broken promises of aid, and against the violence suffered by the most vulnerable. zo reken is a road movie and a talking machine.
