CloseInspired by a true story, 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 but soon realises he needs a bigger score to fulfil his goals of making it big.
Lucky hatches an elaborate and violent plan to make his fortune – hijacking buildings from landlords of Johannesburg tenements by winning the favour of the tenants and then holding their rent hostage from the landowners. His trouble with the law, coupled with an escalating war with 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.
