Description:
Quase Dois Irmaos (Almost Brothers)
A winner of 11 awards at multiple South American festivals, Quase Dois Irmaos looks at the severe class inequalities in Brazil over a four decade period as experienced by two childhood friends. Miguel is a middle-class white who grows from youthful rebellion into a career as a progressive politician. Jorge, a black kid from the Rio de Janeiro slums, goes to prison and eventually rises to drug-lord status. "Strong stuff...This bitter, hardheaded movie doesn't let
us off easily" (Stephen Holden, New York Times). Co-written by Paulo Lins, who penned the novel upon which City of God was based.
Lucía Murat, Brazil, 2004.
