In response to his film review, much of what Charlie Hinton says may or
may not be on target. I'm not one to judge his opinion but, that said,
"Ghosts of Cite Soleil" is a dynamic, powerful film. The camera work,
editing, and interviewing techniques place you square in the middle of the
action.

Aristide notwithstanding, you feel trapped by the poverty and daily
violence that obliterate the daily lives of people who live in this
horrible slum. This is a movie about poor people who face death every day.
It's not about politics.

I urge you all; don't miss it.

Pita,
