Medellin
 The Accountant's Story: Inside the Violent World of the Medelln Cartel $26.99 The book does give the reader a great amount of information on the life of pablo etc. While i was reading the book i came across far to many spelling mistakes and inconsistencies . its a shame because the content is good, however untrue it might be (considering its his brother who wrote the book). I would recommend it, just dont take everything it says as a 100% fact!  Carlitos Medellin $39.95 A harrowing account of life on some of the world s most dangerous streets, this hard-hitting documentary follows thirteen-year-old Carlito as he shows his decimated neighborhood to filmmaker Jean-Stephane Sauvaire. Carlito lives in Medellin, Colombia s second-largest city, where armed boys hold out against the paramilitary, gangs of criminals, and violent guerrillas. While American kids his age enjoy their cell phones and computer games, Carlito carries a statue of the Virgin around his old neighborhood, listening to the shell-shocked residents confess their sad stories, pray to the Holy Mother, and reveal their last hopes and dreams. Literally shot under the gun because of the neighborhood s daily street violence, Sauvaire offers a haunting expose, exquisitely photographed and expertly crafted.  Sonar No Cuesta Nada $9.98 This movie was great from the beginning to the end. Its based on a true story. Its crazy how poor people act when they find a lot of cash.  Medellin $9.98 This is am amazing, thoughtful and extremely well done documentary on the far reaching effects of the drug cartels and how it affects every aspect of all lives. Riveting to the point that I couldn't pull myself away from it. Just one of the fascinating things about the film, is all the industries that the cartel violence has generated, like plastic surgeons to repair the "packages" sent to the homes of the kidnap victims. Also, what a common occurrence kidnapping is and all the things that north Americans take for granted. Also made clear to me how we're all a little too comfortable with the "it can't happen here syndrome" since it CAN and is, slowly, small town by small town. Poverty makes people do quite a bit to feed their families and we shouldn't underestimate what the Cartels can convince uneducated, desperate people to do for money to save their children from starvation. This is an fabulous, informative, well thought and executed, chilling documentary that no one should miss. It should be shown in every school in every state. Drugs do much more than kill with the toll they take on society, and there's little we really do to stop it, or even legalize it, if that what it takes. A MUST see. Don't miss it and give to all those you care about. I have and all have felt as I do. |
