    Rough as can be in both content and style, Ghosts will be welcome everywhere tough, provocative docus are shown.

    The underlying political motivation may be unclear, but the violence and desperation of lives lived in something close to hell on earth is terrifyingly clear.

Like Lele, he'd rather have a party with the thugs.
