A rare filmed interview with survivors of a catastrophic earthquake in Haiti will be screened at Lifetree Café at noon Monday, Jan. 23.

The program, titled, “Why Did I Survive? Questions From Natural Disasters and Other Scrapes with Death,” features a filmed interview with Rodney and Lillian Smoker who were serving as missionaries in Haiti when the earthquake occurred.

“There was a huge noise like a Mac truck, and then things started shaking,” Rodney Smoker says. “The last thing I remember was the ceiling coming down. Then everything was flat, dark, and there was so much dust you could hardly breathe.”

During the program, participants will see personal video footage of the aftermath of the earthquake.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at Kokanee Coffee, 509 N. Fifth Ave., Sandpoint.
