THE FILM
A tragic accident changes the lives of two strangers, and they try to overcome their trauma by entering into the most bizarre, disgusting, and twisted relationship imaginable. Their bond takes them to the darkest and most depraved places in human history.
SUICIDE DISCO is the latest film from international rap star and director RA the Rugged Man, a gore-filled descent that’s more than shock value -- it’s a story that combines sexual absurdity and over-the-top violence while telling a heartbreaking and relatable story about the power of redemption.
Our team is excited to subvert Hollywood’s narrative conventions and deliver a shocking film that pushes the boundaries of cinema.
