Canadian Indie Brother Drops First Trailer

Toronto set indie film Brother has released its first trailer taking a look at the city’s music scene in the 90s through the eyes of two brothers.

Brother is the story of Francis (Aaron Pierre) and Michael (Lamar Johnson). Two sons of Caribbean immigrants maturing into young men amidst Toronto’s pulsing 1990’s hip-hop scene. A mystery unfolds when escalating tensions set off a series of events which changes the course of the brothers’ lives forever.

Brother crafts a timely story about the profound bond between siblings, the resilience of a community and the irrepressible power of music.

Check out the trailer below.
