Review of Ghosts of Cité Soleil (2006) by Mary B — 29 Nov 2007

It's a documentary about basically all the problems in Haiti before the Previous President Aristide Got deported. They touched about everything from the gangsters that were with Aristide, against Aristide and also talks about what Bush had to do in all of this war. They begins a long journey with two heads of the whole gangster business. One who calls himself 2pac and his brother Bily. They hate each other cause their gang is against one another but you know what they say Blood is thicker then water.

They talk about how life is as a gangster, how they will probably die young cause in the poorest are in haiti , Cite soleil, No one lives old. How the government is mainly the ones on top of all this wars. It shows a different eye on the whole gangster business in haiti. It really touched me to see how some kids are playing in dirt. They even showed one kid who had water staying in his head. His head kept getting bigger and bigger by the day and if they didn't do surgery fast his head would blow up. Some of these kids up here have no idea how lucky they are, especially those who are from Haiti, forget where they came from. Wyclef Jean is also in the dvd. He even inspired one of his songs from 2pac who was also an artist. He had a lot of potential from what I heard him rap but sadly in Haiti there is no way out. It was a very interesting dvd, it opens my eyes on how lucky i,you and all of us are. Even if you don't understand Creole it will be easy cause everything is subtitle English even when the guys are talking english.
