It's a friendly and shallow look at the ascendance of a pop-star-turned-politician whose presidency, now more than four years along, has hardly been a panacea.

Village Voice

The energy never falters as the film jumps from talking-head testimonies to on-the-streets footage of rallies and riots.

"Sweet Micky for President" shows Mantell's steep learning-curve about political realities as well as his growing sense of confidence and commitment. It's inspiring.

Rated: 3/4

A somewhat insightful if not one-sided look into the election of Michel Martelly.

Humorous doc about Haiti's hilarious Presidential race in which former Fugee Wyclef Jean actually lost to a former drag queen known as Sweet Micky.

I probably found this more interesting since it mirrors some ways the current trends in American politics.

One political story that is even crazier than Donald Trump running for President. The history of Haiti was tumultuous and beyond belief before a diaper-wearing pop star and two members of the Fugees got involved.

A Haitian Trickster/Pop Star, The Island and the People of Haiti, Pras Michel, creator of the The Fugees, Hillary Clinton, Sean Penn, Wyclef... All on a rollicking collision course that is musical, entertaining, hysterical. sometimes heart breaking, and all true.

This story seems made up, but too crazy to have been invented. A bit like what's going on right now in the USA. What next?
