The latest World Cup feature was filed by Martin Fletcher, a longtime NBC correspondent, now a volunteer with the Filmaid International NGO. He followed Filmaid founder Caroline Baron, whose movie productions include Monsoon Wedding and Capote, to Port-au-Prince for her latest project. Back in April, NBC's Janet Shamlian told us that the Haiti national soccer stadium had been used as a tent city for those made homeless by January's earthquake. It is now back in its proper role just in time for the World Cup. Not that Haiti is playing in South Africa--but "everyone here loves soccer. I mean, everyone," Fletcher averred. He was on hand as the satellite uplink for the stadium's giant TV screen was connected just in time for Filmaid International to supply a live feed from Johannesburg.
