It Stays With You is a documentary that dives deep into the grim realities of UN peacekeeping in Haiti, particularly in Cité Soleil. The film captures this unsettling atmosphere, juxtaposing past violence with the haunting echoes in the present. Cahal McLaughlin and Siobhán Wills return to these neighborhoods a decade later, revealing the long-lasting scars on the community. The pacing feels methodical, almost contemplative, allowing viewers to sit with the weight of the history presented. There are no flashy effects here; instead, it’s all about the raw, human stories that emerge from a place marred by conflict. It’s distinctive in its approach, offering a voice to the silent victims amidst a politically charged backdrop.
