I watched the documentary last night and amongst all the mess that’s depicted, I’m left with haunting questions about Lele! I wonder what her outlook on life is now! How does she justify her actions?! Does she feel that instead of part of a solution she instead became part of the problem?! Does she reflect upon this at all?! Some how I think not! I’m left to believe that rather than being a relief worker she is merely one of those thrill-junkies. She comes across to me to be a person without so much self-worth. I wonder what goes on in her mind when she watches portraits of her in the arms of a gang leader in such filthy circumstance ?! Any regrets Lele?!

to Lamonte Eagan:

it is people such as yourself that perpetuate the righteous existence of “wretched murderers” like them. Do some homework before you judge the disenfranchised and the oppressed.

Watching this mess of a film leaves one without pity for any of the principals. The Haitian gang chieftains are wretched murderers and Lele is an utterly stupid woman with no redeeming qualities either.

Warum sollte dieser Film Propaganda sein?
Vieleicht aus dem falschem Blickwinkel betrachtet aber man sieht doch wie die Menschen dort hintergangen und in Gettos zusammengefercht werden.
Für mich waren die Anti-Aristide Bewegung, die britischen und die amerikanischen Truppen(Regierung) die wahren Verbrecher. Wenn man den Film nicht kritisch genung betrachtet, könnte jedoch ein umgekehrter Eindruck entstehen.

An intellectually dishonest film. The director uses sources such as Andy Apaid and Chalito Baker without describing them as anything more than “political opposition.” Their actual roles and socio-political commitments are quite situated and worth at least acknowledging. (Do any Google search to learn more.) The roles of Guy Phillipe and Jodel Chamberlin are similarly glossed over (in fact, their human rights records in Haiti are appalling) because the film is more interested is portraying a nihilistic gangsta rap dream.

This is a horrible pro-US propaganda film that really overlooks all the violence done by the ex-military CIA backed people. It demonizes the poor and the elected government of Jean Bertrand Aristide. After the illegal overthrow of his government something like 8,000 people were killed according to the british medical journal the lancet. THe interim government after the coup was backed by the US and killed thousands of people. What a horrible time Haiti had. This documentary is real propaganda.
