Chi-Raq DVD   Precision Pictures

After a child is accidentally killed in a gang shooting, a group of women led by Lysistrata (Teyonah Parris) organise a protest against the ongoing violence in Chicago's southside: They will withhold sex from their men until they agree to lay down their arms. Lysistrata's lover, rapper'gang leader Demetrius (Nick Cannon), retaliates by intensifying his feud with rival gang lord Cyclops (Wesley Snpes). Lysistrata's movement challenges the nature of race, sex and violence in America and around the world, and raises tensions in the already violent neighbourhood. Chiq-Raq is directed by Academy-Award winner Spike Lee (Do the Right Thing, Malcom X) and also features an A-list cast including John Cusack, Jennifer Hudson, Angela Bassett and Samuel L. Jackson
