@Rico8458 u dare call us the trash racew,when your the ones with colera,your the ones that are all black ass hell,your the ones that hated us first,your the ones taking jobs,your the ones beggin us for scraps ,your the ones,that are trash......GO BACK TO AFRICA AND LEAVE HAITI AND RETURN THE LAND TO THIER RIGHTFULL OWNERS THE FRENCH,,then maybe there can be a new treaty,,,and then it can get suceded to DOMINICAN REPUBLIC..
Wow! These comments are really ridiculous. I lived in Haiti for 13 yrs and while living there, one of my neighbors was from DR. Some of my closest friends are from DR. I highly doubt that this document was made to create tensions between us two nations. Whether documentary is fact or fiction, we must keep in mind that we are one island, two people with common problems. Can't We all get along?
man i saw this movie last night and it was soo bad. horrible film making. so many facts are misconstrued. 100% sensational. even the irrelevant points made in the movie are false. and all the so-called family owned bateyes actually belong to the CEA, old abandoned state owned sugar mills. I heard that the film maker, Bill Haney went to high school with one of the family members attacked in the film. Guess they didn't get along back then, so he decided to attack the family now... BAD MOVIE!
This very short trailer does not cover the whole story, nor does it represent the whole picture. I have worked with Haitian churches in the Dominican Republic, mostly in Bateyes, and can say that personally I have seen what is described here. But it is still not the whole picture: the Haitians are not slaves, and the idea of "quasi-slaves" is kind of vague. The images are misleading in a way, as if little kids routinely cut sugar cane.
when they got back to her she yelled at them i guess she wanted money instead of food. NEXT year i go back same woman now with 3 kids and another woman with like another 2 kids all in the same spot begging not the adults but the kids.
she was well dressed siting on a lawn chair looked pretty healthy to me. I gave each of the kids 1 dollar and as soon as they got back the 2 ladies took it from them ...now the kids where crying and i called them back and gave each of them another dollar.
jim crow in DR?
