Zo Reken is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Emanuel Licha and released in 2021.[1] Taking its name from a Haitian Creole slang term for the Toyota Land Cruiser, the film is an exploration of the impact of the international humanitarian aid apparatus on Haiti, centering on the ways in which it can be both a necessary lifeline and an instrument of economic inequality and repression.[2]
The film premiered at the 2021 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival,[2] where it won the juried award for Best Canadian Feature Documentary.[3] It won the award for Best Documentary Film at the 2021 Festival international du cinéma francophone en Acadie.[4]
