Built on a classic brother-against-brother narrative, Danish filmmaker Asger Leth’s “Ghosts of Cité Soleil” is a forceful documentary set against the 2004 Haitian coup d’état that toppled the government of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. An expressionistic portrait of a society in violent chaos, the film blends cinéma vérité and newsreel footage to capture a modern-day tragedy with Shakespearean overtones.

Ghosts Of Cite Soleil Movie Trailer

As Haiti moves toward anarchy, the notorious slums of its capital, Port-au-Prince, are ruled by the chimères, ruthless gangs that largely support the Aristide regime. In Cité Soleil, described as one of the most dangerous places on Earth, 2pac and Bily are gang leaders on opposing trajectories. They also happen to be brothers.
