Inspired by a true story, Gangster's Paradise: Jerusalema is an unflinching look into the crime, corruption and the transgressions of those looking to survive in the most crime-infested district of Johannesburg. Starting off with simple smash and grabs, and petty crime, Lucky Kunene quickly graduates to more aggressive heists such as armed robbery and carjacking. Soon, Lucky realizes he needs a bigger score to fulfill his goals of making it big, and escaping from the slums, to a dream house by the sea. Lucky hatches an elaborate and violent plan to make his fortune - hijacking building from landlords of Johannesburg tenements by winning the favor of the tenants and 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, and Lucky must stay one step ahead, or his empire, and his life, will come crashing down.

Gritty South African thriller following two young criminals from adolescence into adulthood. In the Johannesburg district of Soweto, teenage friends Lucky (Jafta Mamabolo) and Zakes (Motlatsi Mahloko) graduate from petty crime to car-jacking and armed robbery in a desperate attempt to make enough money to get out of the neighbourhood. After a botched heist and a near-fatal run-in with the police, the boys are forced to flee the area for the no man's land of Hillbrow. Five years later Lucky and Zakes (now played by Rapulana Seiphemo and Ronnie Nyakale) are scraping a living by operating an unlicensed taxi service - but when armed rivals steal their taxi, Lucky decides to resort to crime once more.
