My Brother The Devil
Mo is a young boy growing up in a traditional Egyptian household, but beyond the front door of the family's modest London flat is a completely different world – the streets of Hackney. The impressionable Mo idolizes his handsome and charismatic older brother Rashid and wants to follow in his footsteps. However, Rashid wants a different life for his little brother and will do whatever it takes to put him through college. Aching to be seen as a tough guy himself, Mo takes a job that unlocks a fateful turn of events and forces the brothers to confront their inner demons.

Decent Film. It really captures the London immigrant scene beautifully, especially for Egyptians. It's real, showing the clash of cultures and the search for identity. While not perfect, the raw honesty and great acting make it a must-see for anyone craving a genuine story. The sibling bond is portrayed immensely well and it is interesting how it plays out against the backdrop of immigrant life in London. It's raw, it's real, and it may hit close to home for some people. Definitely worth a watch if you're into that kind of thing
