Inspired by a true story GANGSTER’S PARADISE: JERUSALEMA is an unflinching look into the crime corruption & the transgressions of those looking to survive in the most crime-infested district of Johannesburg. Starting off with simple smash & grabs & petty crime Lucky Kunene quickly graduates to more aggressive heists such as armed robbery & carjacking. Soon Lucky realizes he needs a bigger score to fulfill his goals of making it big & escaping from the slums to a dream house by the sea. Lucky hatches an elaborate & violent plan to make his fortune
- hijacking building from landlords of Johannesburg tenements by winning the favor of the tenants & then holding their rent hostage from the landowners. His high-profile real estate acquisitions attract the attention of the local police force who have no qualms about using unprovoked brutality to bring him down. His trouble with the law coupled with an escalating war between a local drug lord creates a tense standoff: both sides are closing in & Lucky must stay one step ahead or his empire & his life will come crashing down.
