Protein TV and director Will Robson- Scott present ‘Chi Raq’ a chilling & intimate video portrait of life in South and West Chicago. For the past decade, Chicago has been enduring a violence epidemic, with a death toll in the thousands and casualties mirroring the losses experienced by the US army in Iraq war over the same period. Allowing its subjects to take center stage to tell their stories in their own words, Robson-Scottʼs film is unflinchingly honest in its depiction of life on the streets of one of the most dangerous cities in America. The violence has been bubbling over for sometime, and something has gotta change.

To coincide with the release of the short, there is a photography book which contains 40 pages with a foiled front cover and accompanies the film ‘CHI RAQ’. The book was printed in a limited edition of 200, and can be purchased here.
