Nou Bouke, a documentary that captured the mood of Haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010, received a regional Emmy award Saturday in the documentary-topical category.

The Emmy is a first for the Miami Herald Media Co.

"With the second anniversary of that catastrophic earthquake approaching, we hope this award will serve to bring attention to the many needs still facing that nation," said Nancy San Martin, the film’s executive producer and The Miami Herald’s interactive editor. “Haiti remains far from recovery.”

The film was a project of The Miami Herald and el Nuevo Herald in association with WPBT2, a local PBS station.

Joe Cardona directed Nou Bouke (We’re Tired), which was narrated by Haitian author Edwidge Danticat and aired nationally on PBS. Jacqueline Charles, the Herald’s Haiti correspondent, was associate producer and el Nuevo Herald’s Jose Iglesias was director of photography.

"The earthquake was an important piece of history to document for Haiti as well as South Florida’s Haitian community, " said Cardona, an independent Miami filmmaker, who also was nominated for two other films: Albita: Toda Una Vida, Cuban Masterworks, about Cuban singer Albita, and a Bay of Pigs invasion documentary.
