Trench Town, Kingston 12, is the most famous ghetto in the World. Immortalised in the music of Bob Marley it is now one of the most dangerous and violent places on the planet. With a population of around 25,000 there can be up to ten murders in a week. A virtual civil war has broken out as heavily armed rival gangs are fighting for control of the area.Today Trench Town is crumbling. The children sleep and study under their beds at night for fear of bullets coming in through the thin walls of their simple homes. Their journeys to school can be fatal as they cross rival gangs' borderlines. There are many innocent victims caught in the crossfire. Originally built as a government housing project in 1945, Trench Town was decimated by the political war that marred the 1976 general Elections. Sandwiched between two different political strongholds, it was a victim of its location. It was the politicians who first armed the gang leaders or 'Dons' in return for the vote. The legacy this left is of a violent culture that is impossible to police and where murder is commonplace.This film examines how the ordinary citizens survive in such extreme circumstances. We talk to a complete cross section of the community in this moving testimony to the courage of the community in its daily battle for survival. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W7FP3LBJ
