 My brother The Devil is a captivating film which tells the story of a gang member who struggles to hide his sexuality as well as being a good role model to his younger brother. Set in the urban backdrop of London's brixton this films covers a new side that no other urban film has.  Whilst your average Urban film consists of gang crime, drugs, and struggle M.B.T.D has a very refreshing approach . For instance a different minority has been introduced as the main family of this film are Egyptian which is very refreshing . Although the urban basics are understandably sourced through the film Sally El Hosaini has done a brilliant job of incorporating homosexuality in such a raw setting. This is a must see.

 

Controversial enlightening and about time!
