Loved it‼️👏🏾🇹🇹👍🏽 Thought you did a GREAT job‼️ As a Trinidadian, of course its hard to see your dirty laundry exposed. But, he managed to cover very well the problem and the reasons. He touched on the complexities of my island's issues with Piracy, inland crime and Immigration. And of course our beautiful CARNIVAL as a background for balance. Btw, i do background vocals in our Calypso Tent "Klassic Kruso" around carnival time for Mr. Garth St. Clair. Good man‼️👍🏽👏🏾
So a report on pirates that has no footage of pirates. Speaks to 1 fisherman, 1 refugee, an undertaker, the coast guard and a radio show host. Basically went to carnival in Trinidad on company dime and did no actual investigation. Why is there no interview with any criminal element or from residents in gang infested neighborhoods. Why is there no interview with anybody accused or suspected of piracy? This was a very poor piece of journalism.
My honest opinion they had no ppl of color to do interviews so in the current situation the government of Tobago and Trinidad will not just open up to colonizers an show their under belly... An of course AND being owned by rich manipulater for get truth in journalism!
Remember a few years ago when the Russians tried shooting at Somali pirates a tourist thing ? One could book passage on a Russian vessel that would pass along the Somali coast. When the pirates showed up, the "tourists" were allowed to shoot. It didn't last very long as it was thought to be piggy (Ya Think ?). There is something satisfying when you cut loose with a .50 cal into an open boat load of people who are set on killing you, especially when you can have the video for later viewing.
I feel for trinidad people they are getting overun by Venezuelans. I dont blame them for protecting their education and jobs. You cant show up to a small island and expect everything.
People of Venezuela need to join forces to address crime. It is far better and bigger country than little Trinidad. Too easy to go to other country. People of Trinidad have worked hard to make it an awesome and prosperous Island, why cant people of Venezuela do the same!!
I'm a Trinidadian. Carnival is depicted as a fun and island wide celebration of culture and freedom from slavery but it is straight out of Babylon and very much a pagan festival. Do not be fooled... it is no better than a drunken Woodstock event or large scale Rave party.
The crime part sound exactly like Jamaica,, but unlike Trinidad, our guns coming from the gun factory itself [USA] and the authorities in the USA doesn't lift a finger to help, as far as they are concerned its business for gun manufacturers in USA. We had a similar problem like them with illegal migrants coming from Cuba, but our saving grace is that they usually move on to Florida USA where they have huge Cuban populations.
Very misleading title... No pirates to see or talk about here. But one thing killed me in this doco...... The Undertaker talking about filling in bullet holes on the dead bodies Reporter. "" So how do you cover up the bullet holes."? The Undertaker " I wax dem over " Reporter" With what? " Undertaker :" With wax! " 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Confirmed there are no pirates in the Caribbean... ABC is just making that up to try to make you feel bad for the socialist revolutionaries fleeing their socialist revolution. Venezuelans need to go home and fix their country, it has the greatest energy reserves in the world.
I am from Jamaica and Trinidad should not deal with another country problems! Why don't they go the the USA? Trinidad needs to help their self and no one else. Who help Trinidad when they are going through their own problem?
watched full report - no sea shanty = dissapointed. My mate reckons 'These are not pirates! These are criminals! I think if they were singing sea shanties the authorities would have to let them pass' I dunno but its worth a shot
Countries like this could thrive on the tourist dollar. But the local crime has killed that idea. I dreamed of visiting the Carabean, but won't. Some Asian countries are the same.
Though I'm not for that Caribbean nation, I know enough to say they don't depend on tourism, they have oil and as such their economy is most industrialized, in which case they most likely don't need you.
@@mucsalto8377 There most certainly is. Australia has a rich and detailed culture which is not apparent on the circumference. Sadly if all you wish to focus on is strong language and shorts then you have clearly failed to observe.
Oh my, it pains me to see this. Trinidad and Tobago are very special. Wonderful people! I lived there for several years. Sailed, dove, and fished the wonderful waters there. As a musician, I loved playing music with the wonderful talent there. I left there in 1999. Venezuela was starting to go down hill. On my way to Panama, I gave it a wide berth as piracy was just starting. Now it is ravaged by a terrible Dictatorial government. It is not at all Socialist. It is a ruthless dictatorship. It has been destroyed. I worked in Venezuela in the 1980’s. It was the most prosperous and successful country in South America. This is what greed and power does to a country controlled by the powerful few. I now worry about my country, America. It has been purchased (stolen) by the powerful corporations and oligarchs. Less and less for the people, and more for the rich. Not a good direction. I’m sorry to see the policy on education for the Venezuelan children. A big mistake. Over all I have been very impressed at how T and T have such a successful multi cultural and multi religious society. Much better in this department that the US. Thanks for the enlightening documentary
@MrPitjoey your reading of history is way off. Socialism brought prosperity to Venezuala. American Intervention destroyed that prosperity, because American foreign policy is all about destroying any county that has valuable natural resources so it can plunder it all for wall street greed.
Really I think pirates come about due to in-equality and poverty. Also non comformative. Sad though it has led into more then stealing off boats. Murder, kidnapping and so forth.
Got to 3:40 and realized this is BS, talk about piracy and not carnival. Why are you celebrating Carnival during an investigative piece about pirates in Venezuela.
It's so sad how much Venezuela went downhill within a single generation, and all that mostly because of some corrupt politicians. When I traveled all over that country 20 years ago, I remember one of the most beautiful places on earth, with a very diverse landscape with picturesque beaches, the Andes mountains, tropical jungle and vast plains, the Orinoco delta... all within short reach. They had a proud culture, sincere and friendly people, and no substantial poverty problem at the time. And except for some shady places in Caracas it was a very safe country. I'd can't help but become nostalgic whenever I hear 'Venezuela' and wonder what a once so beautiful place like the Andes city of Mérida is like today...
Yes I agree with most of what was showing but you made my country look very poor they have a lot more beautiful people and beautiful things in this country but you didn't show that
As a homeschool mom I’m always amazed at how helpless parents act when it comes to educating their children. It’s their** responsibility. Not their government’s and certainly not any foreign government’s
When the Somalian government collapsed, all the western countries invaded their waters and fished away their livelihood, creating pirates with no other option. When the USA conducted sanctions and other actions to destroy Venezuela, the same thing happened. It's not the fault of Venezuela.
Believe me, they are there. I have had friends pirated in the general Trinidad/Venezuela area. One was shot but his wife was able to sail the boat back to port in Trinidad. He was very lucky to survive. They stripped the boat and then let her go. Husband shot in the stomach. Yeah, they are there.
Imagine the west refusing people in hardship places like Cialis, France US border in Mexico , Libya, Malta, Italy, Greece and theses small islands welcoming THIER human brothers and sisters
There are tens of millions of migrants in the west. They have been given money and shelter. It is only becoming a problem as the migrants are outnumbering the locals in Europe.
interesting..... when i went to bahama, shops closed at 5PM, no party at night......... in fact, even traveling to the beach was kind of sketchy. i somehow made it back in tact..... by luck and maybe some common sense (if any at all).
I think America should object to these people wearing white face, it's racist. Yup, I know they're just having fun, but what would their reaction be to a white person in blackface? I personally don't care, just wondering.

I agree. I don't really feel more informed or educated after watching this documentary. It was well produced but I didn't learn much.

Using drone while have support boat hidden in nearby islands would be efficient.

There are pirates. We do pirate patrols in the US Navy and board ships, arrest or destroy them.

There's over 30 nations and sovereignties in the Caribbean. Not all of them have high crime levels. It all depends on where you go.
Alando Lawson I think you’d be surprised.
Tourism is dangerous. It forces the local economy to fail. Drives people to exploit the poor people by coming and buying up the property
Alando Lawson This is true. The Trini’s are quite industrious and capable.
Such beautiful places such political unrest.... I pray for them so they be safe.... I pray god bless them all with love an safety!!! OneLove
