Ghosts of Cité Soleil

Dir. Asger Leth Denmark / USA 85 min Not Rated

2010 THINKFilm

Haitian / English / French

A devastating portrait of an impoverished society in the throes of chaos, Danish filmmaker Asger Leth’s GHOSTS OF CITE SOLEIL is documentary-making at its most eye-opening. Set against the 2004 Haitian coup d’état, the film follows two brothers, 2Pac and Bily, gang leaders with opposing views on the future of their country. As though day-to-day life in the world’s most dangerous slum isn’t dramatic enough, Leth also captures the personal tension that arises as both brothers fall for the same female relief worker. An engrossing, unsettling film, featuring original music by executive producer Wyclef Jean.
