Armed gangs now control most of Port-au-Prince, and this DW film tracks two lives caught in that collapse. Carole, a mother of two, lives in a displaced persons camp after a gang raid cost her both her home and her livelihood. On the other side, a man who cycled through arbitrary arrests and prison describes joining the gang coalition Viv Ansanm, saying the state had already failed him before he turned to violence. The film lays out how Viv Ansanm funds itself through kidnapping and extortion, fights running gun battles with police, and has forced schools and hospitals to close or become targets themselves. UN figures cited put 2025's death toll near 6,000, with over 1.4 million people displaced nationwide. A Kenyan-led, UN-backed police mission has deployed to retake territory, but the footage shows gangs still holding much of the capital. Interviews with victims and a perpetrator sit side by side, framing Haiti's crisis as a breakdown of state authority with no easy fix in sight.
