GHOSTS OF CITE SOLEIL (2006)

ASGER LETHMILOS LONCAREVIC

Plot

The reality of life today in Haiti unfolds before us as we get to know two brothers, 2Pac and Bily, Haitian gang leaders who strive to make better choices in a world with no choices at all. Through unprecedented access, we see the brothers' love and hatred for each other, their love triangle with Lele, a French relief worker, and their unsavoury pact with President Aristide during his desperate grasp to maintain power in early 2004. Ghosts Of Cite Soleil is the story of young armed men from the slum, being used for political purposes. It is a testament of desperate dreams in a ghetto world where dog eats dog. Hip-hop and rap music as an existential part of there desperate hope for survival in possibly one of the most dangerous places on earth.
