Karim Seif's rating of the film Songs My Brothers Taught Me
Karim Seif

An immersive journey in the life of a Native american community from South Dakota. We are attached to the places and the relationships that are formed between individuals and nature. The difficulties of living in blended families, an exploded fraternity, ravaged by poverty and the scourge of alcholism. Invisible societal barriers that shatter lovers, constrain liberties, desires, and break creative minds.
