Filmed on the streets of Hillbrow, in the crime capital of the world, a city with record numbers of murders, muggings, rapes and car jackings, the movie Jerusalema takes you on a journey into the heart of crime, gangsters and corruption. The key character makes it big but not by going to university or pursuing a career. He ascends the alternate ladder of ‘success' on a path where carjacking and theft becomes "affirmative repossession" and there's easy money to be had with an AK47 in your hand.
An uncompromising film that looks at the stark reality of crime, corruption, and the violence that is a part of South African life, Jerusalema doesn’t moralise but holds up a mirror of local life and black culture. Here follows the most distressing scenes of hijacking and cash-in-transit robberies imaginable. All so very real and so very frightening in present-day Johannesburg.
