GOD LOVES THE FIGHTER

Welcome to Port of Spain - some call it the murder capital of the Caribbean, but for those in Trinidad it is home, where several characters struggle to live their life under restrictions placed on them by their community and their circumstances. Where the pimps, pushers and prostitutes keep the cities heart beat pumping every day. Where a person is murdered every 17 hours and the only thing you have to lean on is your faith.

directed by DAMIAN MARCANO
Damian Marcano moved to the USA from Trinidad’s Morvant/Laventille section in east Port-of-Spain when he was 12 years old. Dedicated to becoming a doctor, he studied medicine at Ohio State University. But the arts consumed him and he instead became a web designer and programmer, and eventually a filmmaker. GOD LOVES THE FIGHTER is his first feature film after his short film THE LITTLE BOY AND THE BALL (2011). GLTF won three prizes at the Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival including the audience prize, and the Yellow Robin Award at Curaçao Int’l Film Festival Rotterdam.
