DEC. 3/ God Loves the Fighter

Internationally acclaimed God Loves the Fighter (by Damian Marcano) will hit cinemas in Trinidad on December 3rd.  If you were not able to catch it before, here’s your second chance!

SYNOPSIS:

The film centres on the character of Charlie, played by Muhammad Muwakil, who grew up in the streets of Port of Spain. Like many other young men in his situation—father gone, mother dead—Charlie is poor and even though his ethics are important to him, he also needs to eat. Unenthusiastically, he approaches a childhood friend named Stone (played by Abdi Waithe) for a job. Stone, who is now “big in de dance”, offers him a job to run drugs with a taxi driver named Moses.

This “opportunity” leads Charlie to meet the drug lord and brothel owner, Putao (Darren Cheewah), as well as one of his streetwalkers, Dinah (Jaime Lee Phillips), who has her own troubles trying to help a child escape the brothel. King Curtis (Lou Lyons), a vagrant on the streets of Port of Spain, poetically narrates the entire story, announcing the truth about the county we live in, the truth that the media dare not tell.
