Brother, Man

Synopsis

First Feature Film - Packaging Stage Fumu, a teen stowaway from war-torn Angola jumps ship in a foreign port town, orphaned, traumatized, and in search of a home. He meets a bereaved parent and settlement case worker who takes him in. Fumu settles in, enrolls in school, and gets discovered as a born track runner, but when immigration threatens, deportation looms, and his refugee friend dies from an overdose, he must face his inner demons of guilt and self-blame for all that he has lost. He learns that while survival once meant running from a violent past, true survival is about healing and knowing his worth.
