It's an unforgettable, visceral journey into the heart of darkness.
Dives into the brutal heart of a place most people would avoid at all cost.
A spectacularly turbulent portrait of the chaos and bloodshed that have come to define Haiti.
A moving and profoundly upsetting portrait of life near the bottom of the global power pyramid.
If nothing else, Leth shows how wrung-out and careless everyone gets amid constant bloodshed. "We don't need peace," one says. "We need school for our kids. Food. Sleep."
Ghosts of Cité Soleil is a prismatic, jagged, none too coherent travelogue.
In spite of occasional gestures in the direction of political or sociological context -- interviews with anti-Aristide activists, news images of battles beyond Cité Soleil -- Mr. Leth is not, in the end, much concerned with offering an analysis of the Haitian situation. Like Lele, he'd rather have a party with the thugs.
