The reality of life today in Haiti unfolds before us as we get to know two brothers and their stories intimately. They are 2Pac and Bily, Haitian gang leaders who strive to make better choices in a world with no choices at all. Through unprecedented access, we see the brothers love and hatred for each other, their love triangle with Lele, a French relief worker, and their unsavory pact with President Aristide during his desperate grasp to maintain power in early 2004. Speaking the language of violence and knowing that staying alive in Haiti is a very day-to-day proposition, 2Pac and Bily struggle to find a better life for themselves and for their people.”

Synopsis:
The following is from the DVD description:
“In 1979, Francis Ford Coppola shook the film world with “Apocalypse Now,” a harrowing odyssey through the ravaged landscape of the Vietnam War.
Now, nearly 30 years later, the journey resumes with ‘Hearts of Darkness – A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse,’ a riveting chronicle of the groundbreaking classic, arriving on DVD for the first time ever on November 20, 2007 from Paramount Home Entertainment. Through on-location footage filmed by Coppola’s wife Eleanor in the Philippines, and more recent interviews with the film’s cast and crew, Hearts Of Darkness is the fantastic history of a movie beset by physical and personal upheavals: the complete destruction of the film sets by hurricane; the heart attack of leading man Martin Sheen; the director’s own admission that he has no idea how the movie will end (after 238 days of shooting).
‘Hearts of Darkness’ is an unforgettable, unflinchingly honest account of a landmark film that was a miracle in the making.”
“Hearts of Darkness – A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse” is rated R for language.
