Green Screen Film Fest: Climate change education through entertainment. Once he took a camera into a morgue filled with bodies and conspicuously ate a candy bar during the segment. Some of his videos—given to him by informants in the police department, as well as by ordinary citizens—depict murders in progress. Murders used to be relatively rare here, but 15 years ago, international drug cartels began using Port-of-Spain as a convenient transit point for South American cocaine on its way to Europe or the United States.
The smugglers are allied with a set of rival gangs that occupy the slums of wooden shacks that ring the seaside capital, and revenge slayings occur there nightly. In , murders were reported in Trindad and Tobago—that translates to 30 murders per , residents; by comparison, the United States had a murder rate of five per ,—and many other suspicious deaths went unclassified. Crime Watch, which airs every weeknight, is a colorful Grand Guignol, a kind of collective steam valve.
Alleyne steps into the confidence gap without hesitation, and although his loud voice may be grating to some, to others he is the most courageous man on the islands. Curious about the appeal of such trashy fare, I tuned in to Crime Watch the following evening. I decided I had to meet him. But the show—though unapologetically meretricious—is immensely profitable. On any given night, about , sets are tuned in, with an estimated 10 percent of the nation watching.
A hulking security guard held them all at bay. I took a seat beside a woman named Christine Paltoo, who told me her nephew had been beaten by police—the boy took off his shirt right there to show me the gashes on his back.
She wanted Ian to expose this on his show. Another man, Dwayne Reid, had his Nissan Sentra stolen from his garage two months ago.
Going on this show is the only solution. I wrote down my interview request on the complaint slip and was quickly shown into an inner studio chamber, which was crowded with even more supplicants. The guard bade me to take a seat against the wall, where I talked with Haroon Mohammed, a former employee of the local sewerage authority whose crane had collapsed onto high-voltage wires and injured him into joblessness.
Now the government was refusing to pay him disability. I am a man of God, not al Qaeda. It was at this point, five minutes to airtime, that Ian Alleyne made his entrance, barking orders. He had a ring with a blue stone roughly the size of an apricot pit. One at a time! He barely had time to put on his jacket before the clock ran down and he was talking fast and loud to the nation.
The lead story was a shoplifting case out in the town of Arima, where a woman was seen on surveillance tape stuffing a dress into her bag. Next he brought on Mohammed, who discussed his disability case wearing dark glasses, in an attempt at anonymity, and then Reid to talk about his missing car. She showed his photograph and then read the license number of his car out loud.
Already excited, Alleyne went fully manic. I am going to find you. Why did you beat up a woman like that? And then: the kind of dramatic confrontation that everyone on Crime Watch lives for.
