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.
