“Ghosts of Cite Soleil” is a marvelous documentary that could have been capable, if its directors had chosen to dedicate some time to provide the spectator with a better context regarding what was happening in Haiti at the time this film was made, 2004. Without it, we “explore” what was happening during Haiti’s civil war through the eyes of two gang leaders who took active fragment in it, but we don’t really understand what is going on, or why.

That doesn’t mean this documentary is not worth watching, as it gives you an plan of what the lives of the people who lived in the slum of Cité Soleil were like, and the few choices they had in order to quit alive. Become a chimere (or “ghost”) and be a fragment of the gang or die, demolish or be killed. Furthermore, “Ghosts of Cite Soleil” prompts you to bag out on your beget what it doesn’t give you, that is, at least a petite more information regarding the historical, political, social and economic roots of the deep unrest we glimpse throughout the film.
On the whole, I can say that “Ghosts of Cite Soleil” portrays a gruesome and violent reality in a grievous but effective method. I recommend this documentary, but with some reservations: it is not perfect, and it is certainly not for the conventional of heart.

This movie was obviously not a scripted documentary and seemed more like a personal, intimate video journal, shot in a tough, third world city where residents needed to survive however they could.
But as the other reviewers pointed out, this movie had a heavy, yet subtle bias. The film never mentioned the source for the financial backing leisurely the return of the opposition army, the propoganda surrounding Haiti’s civil war or the documentation showing U.S.A. and France were were fervent prior to their “peace-keeping” activities. They movie misses the bloodbath following unseating an elected leader in favor of returning a dictator. But that has also become such a accepted script for U.S. foreign affairs since WWII, that it’s not very hard to state anymore.
Complicated? Yes. And that’s why this movie is so worthwhile seeing. Despite the sure bias, the movie was shot through the eyes of people fighting for their elected leader and the viewer is pulled into their personal dilemnas and can’t abet identifing with their desires. The armed gangs that exist in Haiti are gradually revealed weren’t about personal power as considerable as they were born out of a need for survival, a sense of order – and strangley, a quest for peace. That epic became the loyal intrique of the movie for me. It didn’t seem to matter who lead the country as long as violence created more violence.
If the movie had added even one line giving it a more honest context, I wouldn’t hesitate to give it 5 stars. I found the subtitles were easy to follow since over half the movie was in broken english. The chronicle moved along rapidly without any tedious moments. All the characters were believable since they were trusty and piquant. But what impressed me was the fact I wanted to spy it again, soon. That’s a rarity for me and I’m determined I’ll ogle even more into it next time.
Even with a bias. I have a hard time believing anyone could sit mindlessly through this movie and not feel like they watched a novel movie with a lot to assume about afterwards. For those reasons, I gave the rest of the movie the highest marks possible. It’s a must-see movie.
