Living in a home with 69 abandoned kids means that the stillness and silence needed for contemplation are virtually nonexistent. After more than four years of intense work in Haiti, documentarian Gerry Straub began to commit himself to the rejuvenating power of authentic solitude in order to turn his attention to his own inner spiritual poverty.
