I am also not sure about the actress/social worker used as a bate in the film. The film poses big ethical questions in terms of documentary filmmaking. It is also racist as it presents the same old colonial image of the black republic in perpetual tribal fight and gives us no context (we have enough Ridley Scott for good fictions). Also, the fimmakers could have shown some compassion and try to help Tupac and his brother and get them out of the country after exploiting (I am sure they made quite a bit some money) them. Instead they let them being slaughtered by the defacto gvt and probably eaten by dogs in the streets. I agree 100 % with this review.

I agree with almost all you write (I'm not sure about the Riefenstahl comparison). But the film is an outrageous travesty and I'm amazed that Leth, who was Danish consul to Haiti, could do something so palpably dishonest. And how on earth did the absurd French aid worker agree to take part? People I've spoken to in Haiti - including two who knew and worked with her - feel betrayed by the film. I spent a week in Cite Soleil in September - I might have been on a different planet from that portrayed in this shoddy exploitative piece of work. Well said.
