    Guys I have to be honest with you in this one. After visiting all 197 countries and thousands of cities around the world, I can say with 100% certainty that Port au Prince, Haiti, takes the crown as THE MOST DANGEROUS. Yes, more than Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Syria and Iraq COMBINED.
    I've never experienced before what I just experienced in Haiti... 80% of the city is controlled by violent street gangs, and when we crossed the sketchy checkpoint to enter the biggest slum called Cite Soleil, we had to get permission from the gang-leading chief to enter. I can't make this stuff up.
    I'm just glad that I made it out alive and am here to tell this story. My heart aches for the people in Haiti, who are living through this disastrous situation. I hope the country will return to its thriving days like it was a few decades ago. There is so much potential with stunning beaches, smiling faces, and Caribbean vibes.
    Thanks for watching - it took my team of 4 and myself more than 3 weeks to get this story edited. My hope is that this video sparks conversations that contribute to a broader understanding and ultimately, a positive change for the future of Haiti.

    Going to Haiti was not an easy decision, but I felt a responsibility to shed light on the complex reality of the situation. My intention was never to sensationalize or perpetuate stereotypes, but rather to document the struggles and resilience of the people facing difficult circumstances.
    During my 48 hours in Port-au-Prince, I saw things that I’ve never seen before, and hope to never see again. But I also encountered stories of strength, hope, and unity in the face of adversity. This video aims to humanize a narrative often overshadowed by statistics and headlines.
    My hope is that seeing this real-life experience and meeting people eye-to-eye sparks conversations that contribute to a broader understanding of Haiti. And ultimately, a positive change for the future of this Caribbean nation that shows so much potential.
    Thank you for being a part of this journey.

    Sean might be the best guide one can ask for. He's just a such a nice guy that has all the right connections in a country such as Haiti. On top of that he's also aware of the gravity of the situation he and his country is in but also knows there really isn't anything for someone like him to do. If I didn't knew this was a real life documentary I'd just think he's a well written character played by a good actor.

As a Dominican I keep dreaming seeing more people enjoying all the beauty that Haiti has. All the good people I have met during my trips, the good food, their virgin beaches, their beautiful crystal clear rivers, and all their culture. I hope the people understand that Haiti is way more than gangs, bad things and natural disaster. Na wè pita, Ayiti

Haitian people have this unchanged will of strength unchallenged by anyone worldwide.. They are a people who's humanity in the face of enormous challenges have a warm heart and a strong life energy.. Haitians will always be a people of respect for me because they teach me to remain strong when all seems lost..I will pray for Haiti and for the blessing of it's people.

In Haiti the custom to get rid of ur husband is by poison 😳 my sons grandfather ate a sandwich meant for his best friend and he died from poisoning. He won’t eat at anyone’s house ever again and is picky of where he eats in public due to his father being killed. And don’t get me started about the gang violence he was subjected to growing up

    Sean, the guide/fixer in the video was kidnapped around a month ago alongside TH-camr “yourfellowarab/arab” who snuck into Haiti because, no one is allowed to travel there rn. Arab was going there to interview ex Haitian police officer turned Gang Leader (“BBQ”) who is the man who broke out 4,000 prisoners and currently runs Haiti. BBQ is so powerful and feared the president of Haiti fled the country and resigned from his position. BBQ guaranteed them safe passage, but Haiti is controlled by 5 different major gangs. They all get along/speak to eachother. But in the end, they do what they want. Sean and Arab were pulled over by police who then pointed weapons at them, handcuffed them and put bags over their heads. Later, they arrived at a small compound with barbed wire surrounding the perimeter and armed guards everywhere. They were placed in a shack, at this point it settled in, Sean and Arab were officially kidnapped. They were then greeted by notorious Haitian gang leader (lanmou Sanjou AKA “The King”) 1 of the 5 gang leaders of port au prince haiti, he is currently #1 on the fbis most wanted list in Haiti. Sean immediately starts thinking of escape plans and manipulating his captors. Arab plays the position of entertainment and also manipulates his captors. The king takes a special liking to them, to the point that eventually he isn’t able to even look them in their eyes when he’s threatening them and asking for cash. Arab and Sean are allowed their phones at certain points in the days, where they were told to contact family and tell them they’re kidnapped for ransom. On the outside, Arabs brother gets to work and gathers as much money and intel on the location they were held captive as he could. He had $300,000 ready the very next day after they were kidnapped. But, he knew he couldn’t give it up easily, because they will then ask for more money knowing he’s loaded. So they play it safe and stall day by day. On the outside their families are worried and sleepless. On the inside Sean and Arab are playing their parts manipulating and pleasing their captors. They were held captive for 17 long days and only released after paying $38,000 out of the original $600,000 that was asked for the ransom because Arab decided to make his kidnapping public to the world which went viral all over the internet, the article also implicated BBQ as the captors. The publicity spooked the king. On top of that the king recieves a call from none other than BBQ who tells The King. If he does not release them today that he will go to war with him and his people, because bbq doesn’t kidnap and it was ruining his name, Arab has a 3 hour interview on his channel explaining the whole kidnapping. And yes, he said Sean is a very good and smart man and that Sean had also thought out many escape plans and manipulated the kidnappers/guards. Sean also has a wife and a daughter who were very worried about him and The King also attempted to kidnap Sean’s wife and daughter as well, trying to convince him by saying/asking where they lived and that he would give them money and take care of them. In reality he was planning to abduct them as well. Luckily he was unable to. Eventually the pair was released safely and untouched. Apparently the kidnappers took a real liking to Arab and Sean because they treated them with respect and manipulated them into thinking they were friends. Arab will be releasing videos of the kidnapping, he snuck some videos inside of captivity and videos before and after the kidnapping. Coming soon. In the end, W Sean. He’s a great fixer and a great man. And I’m sure his family is beautiful and relieved to have him back.

      Analia and Drew, I have been inside Haitian homes like that inside the Dominican Republic and I have also met Dominican families who live like this. It is heartbreaking because you cannot help everybody. I shall give an example of these conditions in the DR: Barahona batey central , la montañita area. The local sugar cane factory sucks up all the water and zinc homes have many children and no water. Plus the contamination and toxic ash ( cachispa) that covers their streets . Try aguas negras in Puerto Plata, or how ppl live on the rio Ozama in Santo Domingo. On the coast of Barahona the villages of Cienaga and Bahoruco haven't had water for over 2 months and now locals are dying of cholera. So Haiti is not alone, do not be bamboozled by the 5 star hotels in Punta Cana, just drive down the rd from the airport th Higuey and you will see. Poverty is the direct result of colonialism and neocolonialism. The white elite in Haiti who buy the weapons to arm the gangs are holidaying in the Dom Rep and if you met them you would never suspect their white arses of being murderous criminals. Money talks. Also research Gilbert Bigio.

      It's safe in certain areas, there's a community of white missionaries in Pignon (piyon) who never worry about the violence and crime. Most of the missionaries in Port au prince are moving to Pignon because of how safe it is. The majority of people who grew up in Port au prince don't even know that Pignon exist. They are so stuck up in the city life that they don't care about small towns so naturally they don't know about Pignon. However, most Missionaries are in touch with other missionaries and know where to go. It helps missionaries move safely. Every one is acting like Haiti is so dangerous when in reality it's Port au prince that has all the violence and fighting. You now why everyone in Pignon aren't worried about crime? Because the people in Pignon are serious about keeping the peace, gang members from Port au prince who attempt to hide in Pignon get unalived by the people in the community. Like Pignon there are many other safe areas in Haiti, usually small towns. My parents are missionaries, I've lived in Haiti my whole life so I know what it's like down here. The only time foreigners get kidnapped or caught up in gang violence is when they are in Port au prince, even then you'd still be untouched, you'd have to be in certain areas to be harmed. If you go to those areas and don't obey the rules you're done for. The majority of Haitians in the In the US or Canada are from Port au prince or Cap Haitian, which are cities in Haiti that are dangerous during these times. Your Grandfather will be totally fine if he avoids those cities. The problem is, the citie is what they are used to and so that's where they go. Also there's this fear among Haitians that if you come back to Haiti you might be unalived or harmed. That may be why your grandmother is afraid, Haitian who grew up in Haiti might understand what I'm talking about. So in reality, it depends on where your grandfather goes, and what beliefs your grandmother has. It's sad to see Haitians who are afraid to come down to Haiti because of what the media shows. My mom who is white (so she stands out ) was in Port so she could fly out out to get surgery, the same day there was a shooting she was on her way to the airport, she wasn't even scared. It literally depends on where you're at. It depends on where you're at. There are literally so many Asians and Europeans living in Port au prince who choose to live there. People who have come down to do some temporary work are literally choosing to come back and move down with all their stuff to live in Haiti because it's a beautiful country when you find the right places to live.

      Sean was kidnapped about a month ago along side TH-camr “yourfellowarab/arab” who snuck into Haiti because, no one is allowed to travel there rn. Arab was going there to interview ex Haitian police officer turned Gang Leader (“BBQ”) who is the man who broke out 4,000 prisoners and currently runs Haiti. BBQ is so powerful and feared the president of Haiti fled the country and resigned from his position. BBQ guaranteed them safe passage, but Haiti is controlled by 5 different major gangs. They all get along/speak to eachother. But in the end, they do what they want. Sean and Arab were pulled over by police who then pointed weapons at them, handcuffed them and put bags over their heads. Later, they arrived at a small compound with barbed wire surrounding the perimeter and armed guards everywhere. They were placed in a shack, at this point it settled in, Sean and Arab were officially kidnapped. They were then greeted by notorious Haitian gang leader (lanmou Sanjou AKA “The King”) 1 of the 5 gang leaders of port au prince haiti, he is currently #1 on the fbis most wanted list in Haiti. Sean immediately starts thinking of escape plans and manipulating his captors. Arab plays the position of entertainment and also manipulates his captors. The king takes a special liking to them, to the point that eventually he isn’t able to even look them in their eyes when he’s threatening them and asking for cash. Arab and Sean are allowed their phones at certain points in the days, where they were told to contact family and tell them they’re kidnapped for ransom. On the outside, Arabs brother gets to work and gathers as much money and intel on the location they were held captive as he could. He had $300,000 ready the very next day after they were kidnapped. But, he knew he couldn’t give it up easily, because they will then ask for more money knowing he’s loaded. So they play it safe and stall day by day. On the outside their families are worried and sleepless. On the inside Sean and Arab are playing their parts manipulating and pleasing their captors. They were held captive for 17 long days and only released after paying $38,000 out of the original $600,000 that was asked for the ransom because Arab decided to make his kidnapping public to the world which went viral all over the internet, the article also implicated BBQ as the captors. The publicity spooked the king. On top of that the king recieves a call from none other than BBQ who tells The King. If he does not release them today that he will go to war with him and his people, because bbq doesn’t kidnap and it was ruining his name, Arab has a 3 hour interview on his channel explaining the whole kidnapping. And yes, he said Sean is a very good and smart man and that Sean had also thought out many escape plans and manipulated the kidnappers/guards. Sean also has a wife and a daughter who were very worried about him and The King also attempted to kidnap Sean’s wife and daughter as well, trying to convince him by saying/asking where they lived and that he would give them money and take care of them. In reality he was planning to abduct them as well. Luckily he was unable to. Eventually the pair was released safely and untouched. Apparently the kidnappers took a real liking to Arab and Sean because they treated them with respect and manipulated them into thinking they were friends. Arab will be releasing videos of the kidnapping, he snuck some videos inside of captivity and videos before and after the kidnapping. Coming soon. In the end, W Sean. He’s a great fixer and a great man. And I’m sure his family is beautiful and relieved to have him back.

      Aahhh, the Philippines do not have “gang problems” like Haiti unless you consider the Philippine gov’t and military gangs.😂 Anyway, the problem with the Philippines is the corruption in politics; the lack of intelligence among politicians esp lawmakers; the ignorance of most people and the predilection to voting politicians because they’re good-looking or part of pop culture even though they have no idea about lawmaking, the constitution and geopolitics or foreign policy. It even goes as far as bringing this ignorance to America when Filipinos migrate to America and vote for the exact same politicians they would vote for at home. This is why California had turned into a third world hell-hole because the no. 1 voters are Filipinos. Same with Canada.

    I spent a total of 6 months in Haiti in the mid 90's. Two visits staying at a mission that ran a home for orphaned children. I had the opportunity to paint murals at the mission as well as at a school in city sole and church in Port au Prince. I also spent time in the North working with dental teams and doctors. I was in my early 20's at the time and the experience changed my life forever. it opened my eyes to what poverty is and life is in a 3rd world country. Haiti has always had a place deep in my core since that time. I was fundamentally affected by this country and its people...
    I must say this video breaks my heart. I'm deeply saddened and utterly shocked to see how bad it is right now. It was bad then but I could not have imagined the state it is in now. This update has brought me to tears and left me checking my own reality reminding me of truly how blessed my life is. Sadly, I am assuming that It has become so unsafe that most mission work and humanitarian organizations have left.
    Thank you for risking your safety and comfort to make this video Drew....Its a true wake up call to me. I will always love Haiti and the Haitian People and hold hope but this truly feels hopeless to see.
    AYITI SE YON BEL PEYI. BONDYE EDE AYITI!!

    I lived in Haiti for 3 years (I’m American) and I still travel back and forth, I’m happy you came and experience but I have mixed opinions considering I’m a solo traveler.
    Although the capital can be a little rough, I seen it get much calmer outside of the capital in places like jacmel, cap Haitian, and petit goave, I plan on making a return there permanently I built a house 🏡 and I just find life there easier for me.
    I hope you enjoyed your stay mr brinsky

      "help?"
      Everytime we "help" Africans no matter where on the map, it always ends up WORSE situation.
      They are incapable of self Governing because white saviors keep trying to run in there and fix it for them.
      Why would you dig your heels in and commit to making the same stupid mistake over and over again? 😅
      We need to leave them ALONE and allow them to save themselves. To make mistakes and learn from them.
      The reason they have guns and sophisticated western weaponry and technology is because WE gave it to them to oppress their own people with and to commit more crimes with.
      Another stupid mistake.
      The American Democrats have caused enough damage to Haiti. I wouldn't be surprised if the President was murdered by Corruot American President to cover up the crimes his party committed there after earthquake

      Do you think that you wouldn't be afraid to even walk in these dangerous countries like
      🇾🇪 Yemen, 🇦🇫 Afghanistan, 🇰🇵 North Korea, 🇸🇴 Somalia, 🇭🇹 Haiti & 🇸🇾 Syria ?
