    This is a baudy, homophilic story of the struggle of art under autocratic, repressive, religious, censorious regimes. Oh wait - Isn't that nearly every government in the world? I'm giving this a 7 but I have a very strong suspicion that the release we saw has been cut to shreds. (Typical American distributions.) This won awards in the Rio IFF which is no small accomplishment, so it's probably an 8 or 9 in the original. Our version didn't clearly convey the political content of the film.

My Brother the Devil

Fourteen-year-old Mo is a lonely, sensitive boy whose hunger for the rant and banter of buddies makes him prone to tread dangerous territories. He idolizes his handsome older brother, Rashid, a charismatic, well-respected member of a local gang, whose drug dealing enables “Rash” to provide for his family. Aching to be seen as a tough guy himself, Mo takes a job that unlocks a fateful turn of events and forces the brothers to confront their inner demons. It turns out that hate is easy. It is love and understanding that take real courage.
