About the Director: 

Matt Taabu grew up in Kenya, but has spent the most of his life living in the
UK, where he studied film at degree level. A writer/director, he is one of the
few people to have been commissioned on four occasions by the UK Film
Council's Digital Shorts scheme via his regional funding agency Screen
Yorkshire.

His work revolves around exploring issues of social and cultural identity, with an emerging track record that shows he's not shy of tackling difficult subject matter, or opening it up to a wide audience. His films have won awards both in the UK and abroad. He is Managing Director of his production company Angel Ego Films, which has worked with a number of high profile corporate clients, and has directed and produced music videos.

Film synopsis: 
Rafik and Ibrahim, two Kurdish brothers with very different outlooks, struggle to shape their lives in a new world far from home. Rafik does what he can to survive. Ibrahim seeks solace in tradition as he works towards achieving his dream. When their actions collide, it’s up to them to come to terms with their differences. Brotherhood is about the choices we make that define who we are.
