Anyway, this video is about the people of Haiti, some who have made it out, who have made a life for themselves in another country but who still are connected with their true home that right now is not safe for them.

There are subtitles with the video, so you can follow along.

(The Creole slang is a bit too much for me to translate!)

Take a watch and see what you think of the connection that humans make. And think about what it is you might do to influence our own government to halt the importation of guns from the United States.

(Note: There is a plan to allow Haitians to emigrate to the U.S. if they meet some very strict conditions, called the "Biden plan" or sometimes just "Biden" as a synecdoche.

So "Tonton Biden" is a reference to this as "Uncle Biden," as a grandfatherly figure who could help his nephews and nieces if he'd just pay attention.)
