Synopsis
도미니카 공화국 옆에 위치한 아이티는 지구상에서 가장 위험한 지역으로 세상으로부터 고립되어 있다. 가난, 절망, 폭력이 난무하는 아이티에서도 가장 험악한 슬럼가인 시테솔레이의 전설적인 갱스터 랩퍼들의 음악은 가난에서 태어난 한편의 시다.
Two hours off the shores of Miami Beach, Haiti lies nestled next to the Dominican Republic, ignored by the rest of the world.
It is a country of poverty and despair and violence.
But to the vast majority of people who have never set foot in Haiti, "Hell" is the only word that can
truly convey its condition of life.
This is where GHOSTS OF CITE SOLEIL takes place.
The reality of life today in Haiti unfolds before us as we get to know two brothers and their stories intimately. They are 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 unsavory pact with President Aristide during his desperate grasp to maintain power in early 2004. Speaking the language of violence and knowing that staying alive in Haiti is a very day-to-day proposition, 2Pac and Bily struggle to find a better life for themselves and for their people.
GHOSTS OF CITÉ 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.
It is the story of a brother's love and a brother's hate. Cain and Abel. With hip-hop and rap music as an existential part of there desperate hope for survival in Cité Soleil,- the most dangerous place on earth.
