Ghett’a Life Trailer Hits Hard

film reviews | movies | features | BRWC Ghett'a Life Trailer Hits Hard

Jamaica’s highest grossing box office hit Ghett’a Life is out on DVD this February and it does look interesting.  Having looked into the production, it is associate produced by former world heavy weight boxing champion Lennox Lewis, and holds a soundtrack featuring Damian Marley and Shaggy.  The trailer is below and I feel it shows the feel and tone perfectly.

Ghett’a Life follows Derrick, a ghetto teenager who dreams of being an olympic boxing champion, but the only gym capable of training him is situated in a rival part of town and his attempts to cross enemy lines soon descends into a spiral of violence.

Ghett’a Life is only the second feature from Jamaican director Chris Browne (Third World Cop) and was produced by Justine Henzell, daughter of Perry Henzell – the director of the first Jamaican feature film, The Harder They Come. So great talent involved.  The screenplay recieved The Hartley Merril Award at Cannes Film Festival in before going into production in.



Here’s the promo…

…and some praise.

“Like Boyz ‘N The Hood…an authentic street cred experience”
– Philip French, The Guardian

“A heartfelt plea for national unity in the face of ‘politricks’ and sectarian violence”.
– Tom Dawson, Total Film
