Hello my fellow Americans my name is Norman, I grew up in a very dysfunctional country, a country stolen from one people, built by a group of people stolen from another country, and exploited by white Christians from another country.
@frednora your wrong its Ayiti...always been.no matter what country your from you call other countries the right way..Cuba,Puerto-Rico, Jamaica,Barbados,,,all these countries name stay the same why change the first black independent Country... The English people name it with H-,,,Thats white man doing. THE COUNTRY IS CALL Ayiti
God help Haiti and I just hope that the mess they have there left by the Duvaliers does not spill to my country the Dominican Republic. I truly hope that Haiti resurrects from its hashes for both nations sake.
@eblgraphics LMAO at that comment hello Trujillo? nothing that has been done in Hiati after Slavery is worst than what Trujillo did, spare me that bullshit and lets not forget DR is third world country as well
I really found this to be a wonderful documentary for its age. It's so very sad so much has been lost in human life first and foremost and historically last. My prayers are with them. :(
This video teaches how that we could have houses elsewhere but Ayiti will remain our home. No matter how bad Ayiti may look we have to live the rest of our lives to bring it back at least to 1940s.
There are areas that are still preserved throughout Ayiti.
Actually a very nice, and NON-BIASED, NON-RACIAL white documentary of Haiti for then and now. This is a gem to be shown and explained to school children the world over. Where is Al Gore!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha, but seriously, very good. And as to what happened between then and now? The Cold War and Papa Doc!
what happened. Near as I can figure first Papa Doc instituted oppression. In particular suppression of one group which had lots of money and land. Then his son and successor Baby Doc married a woman from that class of people. She then pulled his strings and brought the whole edifice crashing down.
This was an awesome video...Looking at the pics of P-au-P than and looking at the pics of it after the quake is mind blowing....God Bless HAITI...They WILL RECOVER
how did Haiti go backwards in time since the 40's? in this video it looks as thow people were still farming and the city was beautiful ,What happened ???
In the video, at the very beginning, the 6 of December 1492, arrival date of Columbus at Espanola is mentioned. That explains my question. What happenned in 1942 anyway? Do you know?
In the video, at the very beginning, the 6 of December 1492, arrival date of Columbus at Espanola is mentioned. That explains my question. Isn't that what's relevant? What happens in 1942 anyway?
I was commenting on a similar video that behind the images of order and perhaps more balance there were ruthless people in power doing unspeakable things. We often miss the "forced order" brought about by dictators, and sort of forget the fear and terror behind all of this. Don't get fooled, it's always better to live in a democracy and seek progress and fairness from within.
Years ago, I had a dentist, as we were making small talk, he said that he remembered when Haiti was the number one tourist place to go to for Americans.
I came to the conclusion that the Cold War did Haiti in. U.S. lost Cuba to Castro, that we were not going to lose Haiti to the communist. So Papa Doc was our dictator and damn the haitian people. As long as Papa Doc stayed allied with the U.S.
Texaco, Alcoa, Major League Baseball and Chiqita banana can do anything they want to the country
i dont think that you know what you are talking about. duvalier did nothing but impoverish the country. he is the most disgusting man that ever ruled the country
democracy will never work in Haiti. We need someone like Hugo Chavez who's not afraid to speak against the abuses of large corporations and the capitalistic system that favor rich countries.
There's still one problem though. We still don't know how to harvest our natural resources. We cannot take a stand and forcefully negotiate for our interests if don't have anything to offer. Currently we are at the mercy of IMF. We're always begging.... and that's shameful.
beenn15 your so RIGHT, I feel the same way, we need a tough dictator to get us back on track. Democracy can't work in that population. Preval is a puppet begging for help. Aristide may have done some wrong but atleast he was smart and didn't beg others to get us out of the hole. Artistide was too smart for BUSH. When he asked France 4 reparations Bush knew he had to oust him, which is sad cause French OWE US BIG TIME !
That's good to know Haiti was once at the top of the most caribbean until the Duvalier came and started selling Haitian to the Dominican to work in the sugar field. My grandma always used to tell me that. IT'S TRUE, REPPING HAITI ALWAYS.
Haiti WAS NEVER as rich as Cuba, the DR or even Puerto Rico during the 20th century, but it was definitely more orderly and stable, the style of dictators in the past to justify their oppresive grip . Get some facts, educate yourself. And yes, Duvalier started to send workers to the DR, it was a Haitian flesh market from the start.
Pray all you want, it wont help. If I was in Haiti and saw you on the streets, I would throw you the mud bread I baked because you don't understand the suffering. You see you're in the Grand U.S.A. Haiti still can't get broadband. Therefore, you don't know what they are going through. All I know is it sucks there and there's no hope.
stop blaming other people... haitians are to blame for Haiti's calamity. Until all haitians realize that then the hole is just getting deeper and and deeper until it's too late.I hope it never gets to that though.
Haiti is still beautiful my friend. Most of all, we may be poor, but we are still a Free Country. We have a beautiful history and great culture which can't all be told by online texts.
don't you see everywhere wi go now wi represent-wi don't give a fuck nomore-wi proud 2 be --fuck dem haters--now they starting to be scare--America gon go down, babylon fi distroy--gaz--getting high--all dem shit fi done quickly--china teking ova dem--all dem haitian-wi ready hip hop creole--reggae creole--they scare dey dun kno what's next--now all the real history dey used to hide--wi starting to find out-wa ha happen.The bible said when the true start to come out-do not shaking-haiti fi life.
Don´t be sad... that´s human history. my country has been destroyed to the ground in 1945 after such a senseless war caused by madmen. and look how we are alive today and even better than before. There is no hopeless country in the world. I´m sure better times for Haiti are coming soon. Courage Haiti!
man i am not gonna cry but damn it this video has rise another spirit inside of me.... damn it untin 1986 haiti was #1 in the caribean in less then 50 years some piece of shit break up the poud nation that we were what happen to us damn it.... jesus....evry true haitian after this video should ask them self why why and when and what should we do to go back on top....
My Friend I share your point of view,but take a look back at the israeli people,they even lost their contry and were wasted around the world.We Haitian at least we still keep our land,when the time will come a"MAN" will rise
to put all haitian together,and rebuild the contry "KEEP THE FAITH"
a man? you got 3 million men, time to take responsibility and put things right. Run out the kidnapper, upset the world bank, send bankrupt politicians packing! and thats just a start!
Don´t give up. My country has been destroyed to the ground in a stupid and senseless war and it has come up again. Why should Haiti not as well. I´m sure Haiti will have its better times. the people really deserve it after so much struggle.
The story & history of Hayti, is as true & justifiable with the many historical monumentals sites within Hayti, as the Jewish state, relating the the bible. Hayti, is fact, not a myth as present day haters trying hard to make it to be.
This is fantastic, a treasure! such a positive video and from so much time ago! We would need more of this kind, showing the beauty of Haiti instead of garbage, and talking about the courage of the people instead of the poorest nation of the Americas...
