Ghett’A Life the Movie- is a triumph of spirit!
After a successful 10-week unbroken run in Jamaican cinemas in 2011 new independent urban film distributor Nu-Urban Image International Pictures is thrilled to offer this film to UK audiences.
Associate produced by boxer Lennox Lewis the film follows Derrick, a young man growing up in the ghettos of Kingston, who dreams of being Jamaica’s next world boxing champion, but its election year and politics along with tribal violence divide the country. Young Derrick stands tall even against violence meted out to his own parents until the ignorance of divisiveness gives way to the triumph of unity.
Writer and Director Chris Browne (Third World Cop) was extremely pleased to have secured a nationwide UK release for the film and said, "This is an important milestone for “Ghett'a Life” and for the Jamaican film industry, given that the film will be the first Jamaican-produced and financed movie to show across the UK. We look forward to widespread support from all communities as we promote the message of the film, 'unity in the community'."
