Brooklyn Babylon

Synopsis:

One thousand warring tribes -- one love. Worlds collide, cultures clash, and sparks fly in this music-driven love story set in the melting pot of Brooklyn, New York. West Side Story meets The Harder They Come when a young Rasta rapper on the verge of stardom falls in love with a Jewish beauty chafing at the strict confines of her background. Brooklyn Babylon is the story of the triumph of mysticism and love over fanaticism and hate.
