Paradise City
Available on FilmRise
The worlds of a young cop with a checkered past, an ex-con turned devout Muslim, and a junkie with affluent roots collide in a plot to justify New York City's counter-terrorism campaign against homegrown extremists. Inspired by true events - three men from different walks of life find themselves targeted by a corrupt police apparatus and the dirty dealings of a nefarious dynastic family - both of whom look to exploit a vulnerable community through Fear, Xenophobia, and Force - for their own systemic & political gain. Ultimately, each man must confront his own demons through personal sacrifice, in search of spiritual redemption.
