Propelled by the pulsing beats of Toronto’s early hip hop scene, Brother is the story of Francis and Michael, sons of Caribbean immigrants, who are maturing into young men in a housing project called The Park. The brothers’ bright hopes are thwarted during the summer of 1991, when escalating tensions set off a series of events that change the course of their lives forever. Based on David Chariandy’s celebrated novel, Brother crafts a timely story about the profound bond between brothers, the resilience of a community and the irrepressible power of music. Brother is a touching drama directed by Canadian writer/ producer/ director, Clement Virgo. It was premiered in this year’s Toronto film festival and became one of the most talked about films in the festival.
