Sons of the Same Morning — The brothers
Two brothers begin with the same childhood and are carried toward profoundly different lives. Separation, enslavement and calculated misinformation turn family memory into a contested story: what one is taught about the other may be as destructive as the original violence. Both must build a life while people with power seek to profit from their labor, their skills and their distrust.
