2013 · 115 min

A slow, devastating descent into radicalization, offering no easy answers and leaving a lingering sense of dread.

Tagline: No one is born a martyr.
Overview: The film follows two brothers over the course of a decade. While they begin as kids in search of thrills in the sprawling slums of Morocco’s Sidi Moumen, we witness their gradual, and ultimately shocking, radicalisation.
How it feels: Dark, bleak, tense and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Politics, isolation, faith, violence
Content: Strong violence, sexual content and language. Mild gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
