Not About Me is a feature documentary about good intentions, unintended consequences and the resolve required to learn from mistakes.

When Morgan Wienberg, a well-meaning Canadian teenager, volunteers at a Haitian orphanage in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, her plans take a turn. She is part of an army of NGOs and volunteers with billions in promised aid, all rushing to respond to the disaster. But their earnest actions create their own devastating impacts. Determined to make a more lasting difference, Morgan stays in Haiti to establish a community-based nonprofit for vulnerable children and their families. Over the next decade, we see Morgan grow up with help from the Haitians she came to save. This is Morgan’s story. But it’s also about us, rethinking how we give.
