Good actions mask dark motives...
“Monsieur Le President” is a documentary that takes place in the immediate aftermath of the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Volunteer Victoria Campbell encounters Gaston, a voodoo priest who shows leadership during the emergency, and later manages to open a small, much-needed medical clinic with the support of a foreign funder. He becomes a local hero, a symbol of ingenuity in defiance of the failure of conventional relief efforts. Over three years, he also becomes the filmmaker’s close friend until an unexpected development causes Victoria to re-examine her entire experience in Haiti.<br /><br />The film is fascinating on two levels. First, it provides a portrait of the culture of urban Haiti after the earthquake. But second, and more interesting, is how filmmaker Victoria Campbell sees Gaston as a kind of savior of his dispirited people. The first half of the movie depicts Gaston with endless drive and force of personality reopening a clinic. She presents Gaston as a selfless man doing everything in his limited power to pick up his fellow Haitians from a natural calamity.<br /><br />The film opens a window to what is happening in Haiti and shows viewers what’s being done to restore the country. As “Monsieur Le President” progresses, however, Campbell’s perspective on Gaston changes as she realizes he is not the infallible hero she originally thought. The message that emerges is that documentarians have to be wary of editorializing when one view of a person or event seems the only one. Journalistic inquiry and exploration are necessary beyond the recording of events.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the widescreen, unrated DVD release.
