Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier has been placed in the international spotlight as an emblem of Haiti’s purported “gang problem.” But who is Chérizier really? A new documentary series, Another Vision: Inside Haiti’s Uprising, offers a different view of Chérizier—not as the leader of a criminal enterprise, but as a political figure leading an armed revolutionary movement. Directors Dan Cohen and Kim Ives join The Chris Hedges Report to discuss their new project.

  1. Whatever TOM MEQUE… OF DUVALIER… ERA… KILLED.. 60 THOUSAND HAITIANS…. IS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT EARTHQUAKE IN HAITI… 2010…..

  2. This reminds me of siale Leone revolution which led to a civil war consuming more than 50k lives
    May the almighty Alla protect the innocent people of Haiti

  3. You guys keeping it,4 rich country putting hands together to distract
    Haiti , those country know theirs
    God on earth, theirs keeping killing black peoples

  4. BBQ is not a gang leader he was a police man .they kill his brother in a operation who was a police officer the rezon why he been arguing with his superior because his superior was the complis and that attak

  5. Italy is why Haiti is now poor, Haiti used to be rich. Italy bullied and threatened Haiti into giving them goods and money. Haiti is the way it is today because of what they did to them. European people are Evil and they hid the history of what they did to blacks as well. Everyone do not know Italy is the reason why Haiti is struggling today because of what they did to them.

  6. It's like you pulled all the special utensils, set a nice table with good haitan dishes but taking the guests to the stinky corner where the pigs are packed. Everything is nicely said and presented but the main thing is just disgusting. Why do you do that, why…

  7. I have to say something about the Prince Charmant these guys are describing here. I can't let you spread an adulterated version of what is happening now in Haiti. First of all you used our glorious events and history to sugarcoat the image of your super hero.
    BBQ is a gang leader like all the others. He has his territory where nothing happened without him getting paid for. For example no truck trailer can leave the port without his paid approval. The gang leader has never claimed an ideology. I'm asking myself why you invest that much intellectual energy to present this gang leader under the best lighting possible. I say it loud, you are liberating rats in the rice plantations. That's evil, so sad.

  8. It;s nice that you are placing your projector on Haiti. However, your report was heavily biased in favor of portraying Jimmy Cherizier in a positive light, almost as if he were a saint. I would like to understand your affiliations and interests. From what I know, the Department of State is often seen as an entity that engages in contradictory actions. They collaborate with various individuals and groups to serve their own agendas, and in this case, it seems they are now using Jimmy Cherizier as their new go to person to fulfill their evil agenda. It appears that they are resorting to unconventional tactics because their previous strategies haven't worked at so many levels.

    I've watched your documentary, and I must say that it comes across as propaganda. It lacks any substantial evidence to support the idea that Jimmy Cherizier is a true revolutionary. In my view, this report is deeply troubling, it has the potential to mislead people, and will do more harm than good to the people of Haiti. It is crucial that you get your facts straight and plushed a revised version of your report! Yes, Jimmy Cherizier is a GANG LEADER!!!

  9. There were more gangs in haiti than Jimmy Barbecue. While the government and the few riches men who controlled the whole 12 millions people.

  10. Stop lifting barbecue up you guys are wrong God is given you all weapons. Instead given all these millions to make Haitian life so difficult, invest in hospitals, school , make the roads ….. you make the Holy Spirit very sad , the Haitian have the breath of Jesus In their brains. Nan gette maman nou . Don’t let the snake used you what the called erzuli freda god of white people , a poor spirit, death accept Jesus as your savior stop stealing from haiti

  11. He is a revolutionary leader of nine gangs. They finance themselves, robbing, kidnapping and sometimes killing innocent Haitians.

  12. Yo béswen fè jimmy cherisier pasé pou yon fidèl kastro, sofa que sé pa yon fidèl kastro, sé poch Li lap defand avèk blan yo ak politisyen yo
