Sustaining the Medellín Miracle

[pkoufen]

fantastic video on this fantastic city, unfortunately numbers of homocides increased to 2000 recently...

[soul0luos]

La Señora Lina Marcela es muy hermosa! Le deseo mucha suerte en la vida. Quiero visitar Colombia, pero necesito estudiar más español...

[leespylman]

Estamos cansados de los gringos de tan mala publicidad de sus producciones de cine donde solo se habla mal de colombia, y como si fuera poco aca el centralismo de bogota tambien nos da mala fama con sus canales RCN que con su amarillismo se han ensañado con Medellin persiguiendo solo malas noticias y siempre le hechan el agua sucia a nuestra ciudad.

Solo los invito a que visiten Medellin y la disfruten verdaderamente y sus comentarios van a ser otros.

[dkljuan]

@leespylman lo que haga rcn no es culpa de bogota, donde salio todo el escandalo de la contratacion? no confunda el amor a su region, con la envidia hacia las demas, cada una tiene lo suyo y si bogota es el centro por algo sera.

This was an excellent mini-documentary. I'm headed there for a week in Dec 2011. It's a really beautiful city.

[fredm33019]

I went to Medellin in March 2011 and it is such a nice city... of course there are poor places but its like that in America... brush up on you're Spanish and go... stay in Poblado if you're an American and you're Spanish is basic but if you know really good Spanish or you are fluent you can find places in the center of Medellin.. Poblado is much more safer though!

[TheSingingAuditions]

I really wanna stay with my family for Christmas in Medellin!

A Big Festival Of Lights!

Try going sometime!

[juankacelis]

Man,this is one of the good videos ,about medellin ,i love my city,it is beautiful,but we still have problems,thankfully,we are looking ahead,past forgotten,and thank you very much for do a showing us ,among the world,the regular face of medellin,normal people trying to emerge,live and fight every day...

[Jumamuba0594]

Medellin is great, is the pure example of how Colombia has changed during the last 25 years, this video shows how Medellin's lower class has changed for good.

[xEschatonx]

Yeah, safe place. It's not like an average of 9 people are murdered there every day, and it's not like the goverment just rescued 5 american prisoners who were held captive for 5 years... Their crime rate is exploding. NOT a safe place for N. Americans.

[muerto187sg]

@xEschatonx Yeah it still has a lot to go, on the other hand, I think it would be a bit harsh to say it is not completely safe to go there, if we base ourselves strictly on stats, we would have to mention cities like: Irvington, NJ, Camden, NJ, Detroit, MI, New Orleans, Gary, Indiana, ST. Louis, MO, Oakland, CA, Flint, MI, Los Angeles, CA and many many more with similar if not WORSE stats…..

[muerto187sg]

@xEschatonx Anywhere you go you have to be careful, all we want is people not to stereotype “Colombia” we are good people and like every country we have our share of scumbags!!! We are just trying to overcome our differences one day at a time…

[muerto187sg]

@xEschatonx I cannot guarantee your security when you come here, but what I can guarantee is that if you do decide to come you will leave with knowledge from a very cultural place, you can visit many places that will simply take your breath away, and you might meet the woman of your dreams, if you don’t already have her, give it a try you might not regret it!

[Silher]

lina marcela is so hot... i wanna meet her!

[juan197809]

como marcela ,, no conocia este documental,,,esta bueno....y yulianna...la muestran muy poco,,pero que bn..

[cesartheteacher]

Hey, I love ur effort to show the reality of our city. Congrats.

[johnnycreel]

If the United States does not renew the free trade agreement you can blame the Democrats---period! The Democrats and Obama are whores! Any Colombian in the United States who votes Democrat is a traitor to their beautiful Colombia! I know as I am American married for over 10 years to a Colombian!

[TheAteam30294]

nina is beautiful

[meyiyiyi55]

very good film,i would go there in a second.

[estimulatorloco]

Medellin still is too dangerous, the death tool i the highest in Colombia and among one of the highest in latinamerica. The Pablo Escobar culture is still there. Every guy is a pablito. Tha ladies are ok, but be careful. Too bitches. I wouldnt give them my back.

[DELROJOXOY1913]

@estimulatorloco you are wrong .. is not truh

[RestrepoFilms]

thank you for showing the best side of my city, the hard working people, as a filmaker i have being touched

[minga007]

[Stplaya08]

Loved Medellin! I was there September - October 2010, and I loved it so much. Food is amazing and cheap (Prices), people are friendly, weather is very balanced, and the women are stunning. If you're a young man in your 20's speaking English, be prepared to get lots of attention from the ladies. Don't worry about crime. Police are freaking everywhere in the city, and I mean everywhere! These cops look more intimidating than American cops but are so much more friendlier and helpful. GO MEDELLIN!

[baretillo]

best marijuana, ever you smoke adding some cock cooks better you highness ...

[hhoResearcher]

I'm very glad because of the better life of the people of Colombia!!! The movie is great - it gives a very clear view about the ecdonomical courese of the country and how the people are making their living. The colombian example is great for the developing countries hoe the things can get better. I hope one day all people around the wourld will live in peace!

[si1209]

I think the documentary is a bit outdated. Urban violence has gone up significantly in recent years and anybody who reads colombian newspaper knows that. Anyways, Medellin is still a great place and I will be back there soon (lived in Medellin almost three years).

[RDpapichulo]

how do people find the money to go shopping in medellin, when I can't even find a job in ny

[youngblk31]

[minga007]

[gloria0216]

medellin is the best!!

[aimtube]

Nice segment.. and very balanced.. Though there are still issues in Medellin, it is improving and really is a great place to visit and even live. Globalization is a mixed bag, to say the least, but it's good to see something positive. Nice work.

[caughtupinthematrix]

good stuff!

[nico12561]

I love the city of Medellin. I have been there four times. While Medellin is a very, veru beautiful city, with the hardest working people one could ever meet; let us be real....there is plenty of construction and new banks everywhere....and this isn't only from globalization....Medellin is still laundrying money....This was the same formula that allowed Miami and Tampa Bay to build there skylines.....

[rodneyabs]

As an American gringo that has gone to medellin 3 times and plans to move there, let me just tell you that I feel more at risk for violence in Tampa, FL than I do in medellin. Medellin is a gem of a city! Let the euro's and americans think what they want....less gringos there when I go! yehhaw!

[hidri5]

Man,I got to get to Colombia.

[Hetzel56]

Free trade makes both countries more affluent. Congress should approve a free trade agreement with Colombia.  Colombia is a great country with great people.

[PunkOutlawTV]

Medellin is a great city. I love it. Economies are hard to turn around, I hope they can keep the momentum going, when the new President is elected.

[lago4]

Nice closeup at 1:37. Accidental? I think not.

[camilomismo]

Tell me what city doesn't have violence?

[elcorreoblanco2]

i like Medellín, some problems as in every city of the world but, a lot Better than before

[carodiaz94]

I am from medellin to and believe me that medellin in this moment its pretty bad and i agree with you mottevolois cause medellin its very violent.

[lipoicacid]

@carodiaz94 I read that the murder rate is higher in Washington D.C. than in Medellin.

[mottevolois]

I am from Medellín, and let me tell you something that version of Medellín is the official version, the true is that Medellín still having a lot of problems like security an labor issues, but the biggest problem is that we dont want to accept it we atill want to believe that those days of violence are over but nothig far from true. a lot of people dies everyday in Medel´lín because of violence. we have to stop hidding our problems and face them for onces

[TheBossmanalex]

I wish more people could see this...and see Medellin in person. Such a beautiful and fun city, full of some of the nicest people I have ever met.

[alejonsu]

Great documentary , Medellin has made big changes, forget about Pablo Escobar, that was a nightmare now it is a dream.

[lipoicacid]

@alejonsu What stuns me is that peple still idolize him.Giving to the poor while breaking the very laws meant to protect them is one of the oldest tricks in the book.
