Official "A Lucky Man" trailer

 

A Lucky Man" is based upon the real life story of Ernie 'Lastig' Solomon, a legendary gangster from the violent and crime-ridden area known as the Cape Flats, a depressed peri-urban sprawl, abutting the world-acclaimed city of Cape Town - South Africa. Cape Town is a veritable 'tale of two cities', a city of wealth and of city of poverty; a city of yet undefined identity seeking to live with itself. Ernie Solomon is a man in search of his identity. Is he the product of his circumstances, a victim of fate and of circumstance, violent criminal destined to live on the periphery of society? Or is he a 'lucky man', one who discovers that he has to become a self-directed agent, a master of his own destiny?
