Winner of 10 Jury & Audience Awards, BROTHERS follows a Muslim Arab boy who realizes he is different, and is fortunate to have an older brother who stands by him and encourages him to be himself, in the face of bias and adversity. Written & directed by Mike Mosallam (Breaking Fast, All-American Muslim), this short film aims to shed light on LGBTQ+ oppression in a familial, religious space that has yet to be portrayed on screen.
