Ghosts of Cité Soleil

In order to make this film, a small team of fearless filmmakers had to penetrate "the most dangerous place on earth." Asger Leth (the son of documentary filmmaker Jurgen Leth) and co-director Milos Loncarevic managed to gain unrestricted access to the world of two , gang leaders ruling the Cité Soleil slum in Haiti. Using digital and Super 16 cameras, they followed the two brothers 2pac and Bily in the final days of President Aristide's regime in 2004. Their raw and chaotic images form a disconcerting depiction of the lives of two gang leaders in poverty-stricken Haiti.
In , 2pac and Bily each "govern" one part of the slum. In other words, Aristide's government provides them with money and weapons to keep the people under control. 2pac, whose role model is the American gangster rapper Tupac, actually wants to become a rapper and secretly starts incorporating his convictions in his music; these convictions become increasingly critical of Aristide. 2pac's younger brother Bily is a loyal Aristide adherent and has more political aspirations. Lélé, a French development-aid worker, gets increasingly caught up in the two brothers' lives. At first, it's out of necessity - without their protection, she wouldn't last long in the slum - but later on, other reasons come into play. When Aristide's position becomes unsustainable, the brothers find themselves in a dangerous situation as well, and the tension among the escalates.
