ABOUT THE FILM

Sons of Caribbean immigrants, Francis and Michael face questions of masculinity, identity and family amid the pulsing beat of Toronto’s early hip-hop scene. Deeply felt and emotionally resonant, with riveting performances and stunning cinematography.

“There’s such gracefulness to the filmmaking here, cutting back and forth across time, building like a thriller.” -Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

“Reaffirms why I love movies.” -Valerie Complext, Deadline
