Ghosts Of Cite Soleil 2006 LIMITED DVDRip XviD-SATIVA
Synopsis: An epic portrait of a family and a culture torn apart by poverty and violence, GHOSTS OF CITÉ SOLEIL is a powerful and unsettling documentary that takes us inside the lives of the notorious gang leaders who dominate the Haitian slum of Cite Soleil, one of the most desperate communities in the Western hemisphere.
Set to a score by Wyclef Jean, who also executive produced the film and serves as an inspiration to the young men of Haiti, the film follows two of the gang leaders, who happen to be brothers, and are also aspiring rappers. The foot soldiers of these gang leaders are known as chimeres (or “ghosts”) and it was those ghosts whom former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide is said to have employed to silence his opponents. Filmed in the months leading up to Aristide’s overthrow in 2004, the film captures the smoldering tensions between the two rival gang leaders, and their love for the same woman, set in a city the United Nations has declared the most dangerous place on Earth.

More sensationalism from a westerner seeking to demonize yet another democratically elected leader in the third world. There’s a very simple reason why the people of Cité Soleil are pro-Aristide and Lavalas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cit%C3%A9_Soleil
The vast majority of residents of Cite Soleil have remained loyal to President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and his Lavalas movement. Unlike Haiti’s unelected past governments, Lavalas governments invested money into parks, literacy programs and medical centers in Cite Soleil.[13] Politically affiliated gangs or militias, often with quasi-official powers, have been a regular element of Haitian politics throughout the country’s history.
The fighting led to widescale charges by neighborhood residents that the United Nations stabilising force has permitted conditions that led to the death of unarmed bystanders. Haiti’s media outlets are monopolized by anti-Lavalas business owners and have used the violence in Cite Soleil to further demonize the party of former President Aristide. They have largely ignored the mass violence by the Haitian police, the criminal roots of the kidnapping and the undermining of Arsitide’s security police force.[14]

Do people realize that this film is a documentary shot in Hati while City of God was a fictionalized account of a gang war in Brazil?
What was up with that French ho? Looked like she was just slumming around for a while and then bounced when she got tired of it.

indeed real life of really stupid gangstas called haiti-2pac & haiti-50cent (for real!) 3rd world copycats of the original us gangsta rappers (not that they’re really smarter)
of course the politic & economic situation of this island is lower than low but those bad boys don’t even any rebel/victim/anti-hero aura, they’re just lost boys soon dead… (i know its not a movie, i wasn’t expecting for a happy-ending)
Hey there, this sounds an awsome documentary but i cant dl it. Once i open it with my uTorrent i get 0 seeds. Any chance of another torrent link pls? Take care.
Torrent doesn’t seem to be working. Azureus says everything is OK, just no seeds or peers.
Has anyone here been to Haiti other than me? No? Okay then.
No matter how much they may down-play the situation there, it is true that Haiti has the most corrupt government in the world, bar none. I have actually seen it all first hand- if you get caught doing anything they dub “illegal;” namely stealing, insulting someone, adultry… they, if the police actually show up at the claim (which is rare) are allowed to kill you. Yes, kill.
Anything you do or do not do can be reported as illegal- and the police will always side with citizens instead of foreigners. This means don’t piss anybody off.
The laws are lax, the government is [A fatal ERROR has occurred] corrupt for the MAC users, and not exactly in touch with the citizenry.
The official language of federal officials is French, while the main spoken language of the people is Creole.

Don’t trust Wikipedia for information… trust real accounts from actual people.

This is just a small list of the problems in the country. ANd yes they do love american “gangster” rap. (True gangster rap died years ago.)
I have seen about a dozen tap-taps with 50 Cent painted on the back. It’s actually quite funny.
Actually, johnny boy, that’s what EXACTLY the article in wiki says. People keep harping on how the violent people in Cite Soleil are, but they ignore the violence done by the police. You’re not the only one who’s traveled the world, and quite frankly you aren’t the only westerner to suffer from an acute lack of political understanding.
How does anything of what you say have any bearing on Aristide or Lavalas? Nothing of what you say really sheds any light on the political dimension in Haiti. Your entire post, detailing corruption of officials and police, is filled with a sense of moral repugnance that overwhelms any attempt to objectively treat politics in that country.
So yes, the police are some of the meanest and corrupt mofos on the face of the planet? It’s no secret that they were always a bastion of reactionism hailing back to the time of Papa Doc, but, then what police force isn’t? After all, the most hardcore backers of Vichy in France were the cops. From 2004 (the time that this movie concerns) and up until recently, with the weakening and ousting of Aristide, the Haitian police have been completely unrestrained in unleashing continuous terror against the residents of Cité Soleil:
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1340274,00.html
“The bodies had been whisked away but the dried pool of blood covering the dirt-floor dead end of a twisting alley was a chilling sign of what happened here last week.
Residents in the National Fort district, which like most of Port-au-Prince’s slums is a bastion of support for former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, gathered around the darkening blood the following day….
What is clear is that in recent weeks the government has gone on the offensive against members of Aristide’s Lavalas party, searching homes and arresting people without warrants. Jails are full of suspected dissidents who have never seen a judge or been charged. The most publicised case is that of Gerard Jean-Juste, a Catholic priest arrested on 13 October at a soup kitchen he runs for children….
Aristide’s backers have suffered the brunt of human rights violations since the change in government, said Gerardo Ducos, who is leading an observation mission for Amnesty International. ‘They are persecuting the Aristide people because they are afraid of them,’ said lawyer Reynold Georges, leader of a party opposed to Aristide, who is representing Jean-Juste and several other jailed Lavalas party members. ‘A lot of people have stayed loyal to Lavalas. Believe it or not, it’s true. The poor people, the masses, still believe in Aristide.’”
Where I disagree with this documentary is the way it presents the comparatively mild administration of Aristide as a dictatorship backed by paramilitaries, completely glossing over the military dictatorship and macoute militias (hailing back to the time of Papa Doc) that were in essence the anti-Aristide opposition. And here I have to say that I am not the only one to be offended by this:
http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2007/11/ghosts-of-cite-soleil-dont-believe-the-hype/
This documentary is replete with dishonesty and lies, starting with the main characters themselves, who were paid to make their stories more and more outlandish:
“Ghosts of Cite Soleil claims to reveal the intimate personal lives of two gangsters who are brothers, Bily and 2Pac, in the deprived Cite Soleil neighborhood of Port-au-Prince. When introducing them to several foreign journalists, filmmaker Kevin Pina (Harvest of Hope, Haiti: We Must Kill the Bandits) made the following comment, “Billy and I had a falling out over the question of his accepting money from foreign journalists to hype this question of Aristide and gangsters. The more they paid the more outlandish became his claims …”
The director, Asger Leth, would have us believe the majority of people of Cite Soleil don’t support President Aristide, and that those who do are forced to do so by armed gangsters. He ignores the fact that massive pro-Aristide demonstrations have taken place in Cite Soliel repeatedly since the coup. In one scene, a Cite Soleil crowd shouts, “Five full years, Five full years.” Leth translates, but does not explain the significance — the people want Aristide back to finish his full five-year term.”
As an alternative to Leth’s disingenuous, self-indugent, and ultimately hyped film, I recommend a documentary that was just released this year called “Haiti: We must kill the BANDITS” by Kevin Pena, a long-time social activist and filmmaker, which documents the aftermath of the ousting of Aristide in 2004. The man was even beaten by the cops and arrested during the new administration’s campaign of anti-Lavalas violence.

while u guys rant about ur political knowledge,
can the rest of us jus get a torrent link for the dvdrip
or simply rapidshare links?
thx
Guys? Plural? Apparently I was the only one who even mentioned politics here, since Johnny’s post was nothing but typical tourist moral indignation at the “filthy dark hordes.” He never even once mentioned Aristide, the macoutes, or even the apathy of the peacekeeping force.
But in any case the torrent link is at the TOP of the page. There’s no need for YOU personally to scroll down to the bottom of the page to this little discussion on the disingenuity, falsification, and slander that comprises the message of this “documentary.”
It is a movie, and thus fake. Every documentary/movie director has an agenda for which he/she edits, cuts and let’s people act. In the end such a film gives away his/her vision, but it is of course biased.
If you want the truth, go live there for a year without money. Chances are you’ll get either killed by the police, or by the dude on the cover.
any direct download links?
any direct download links?
Wow, Quad, what an honest to goodness revelation. I guess now that we all know that documentaries are biased people then have NO RIGHT to discuss and talk about the ways in which these things are manipulative and false.
I bet that your mind is so replete with telepathic prowess that you can instantly deduce that Jodel Chamberlain and Guy Phillippe, the two “rebel” leaders portrayed as “good guys” in the film, were respectively a member of a Papa Doc’s death squads and a narcotics smugger trained by US Special Forces.
Sheesh, with such clairvoyant individuals, there is no need to account for history or context when discussing things that try to pass themselves off as factual.
