Chi Raq (Trailer)

Chi Raq is an intimate video portrait of life in South and West Chicago. The full film will be released on Protein TV on 13th August 2013. Check out full video after jump.

 For the past decade, Chicago has been enduring a violence epidemic, with a death toll in the thousands and casualties mirroring the losses experienced by the US army in Iraq war over the same period. Allowing its subjects to take centre stage and tell their stories in their own words, Robson-Scottʼs film is unflinchingly honest in its depiction of life on the streets of one of the most dangerous cities in America.
