Two University of Florida documentary students say their fight to shed light on one aid organization in Haiti has turned into a fight on the UF campus.

UF graduate students Jon Bougher and Roman Safiullin were filming their thesis project in Haiti, when the earthquake hit.

After arriving back to Florida safely, the two soon realized they needed to return to Haiti.

"The earthquake is going to affect our lead characters in ways that we couldn't have imagined, and if we don't document that change after the earthquake, we really have an incomplete film," said Jon Bougher.

Using their own money and equipment, Bougher and Safiullin traveled back to Haiti, but their final thesis film cannot include footage captured during any post-earthquake trips. After a ban on UF sanctioned, sponsored or approved trips to Haiti, university officials say the two broke the rules.

Bougher says the documentary is not complete without the new footage, so he and Safiullin are finishing their masterpiece, hoping the university will reconsider.
