Program Note
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.
