No one is born a martyr.

Drama

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.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching look at the descent into extremism. It's a stark, character-focused drama that feels uncomfortably real, immersing you in a world of desperation and misguided faith.
