Jon Bougher and Roman Saufiullin are back on campus, screening their documentary, "Bound by Haiti" to the University of Florida community.
Their footage, (captured on a return trip to Haiti after the earthquake) was subject to controversy, when UF officials said they couldn't use it in their final thesis film for credit because it was shot during a university travel ban to the island nation.
In April, the filmmakers threatened the university with a lawsuit, and the policy was amended.
Bougher and Saufiullin hope the documentary inspires people to help Haitians, who are still in need one year after the devastating earthquake.
