About God Loves the Fighter:
This moralistic, gritty fable set in Port of Spain, Trinidad is narrated by the charismatic King Curtis: a vagrant prophet wandering the streets of the city. A colourful whirlwind of intersecting characters reminiscent in style to City of God, the main protagonist here is Charlie: a low-level hustler who tries redemption when Dinah, a professional streetwalker, asks for help.
