Ghosts of Cité Soleil

Directed by Asger Leth & Milos Loncarevic

Shot in 2004 against a background of immense political upheaval, this raw documentary follows two brothers – and gangleaders – in Haiti’s notoriously dangerous Cité Soleil slum. Bily and Haitian 2pac lead separate gangs and take opposite positions in the fierce politics raging throughout their poverty-riven country: the gangs have struck an unsavoury pact with President Aristide.

Original soundtrack by Wyclef Jean.
