Film Overview

Directed by Victor Gabriel for Academy Award®-winning Breakwater Studios in partnership with the Schultz Family Foundation I GOT MY BROTHER is a darkly comedic exploration of the foster care to prison pipeline through the eyes of formerly incarcerated Jarrett Harper and his younger brother Baylon.

Through a conversation-style interview, the brothers reminisce about their time spent in a Los Angeles foster home where they were routinely abused and neglected. Though the candid memories are rooted in unimaginable trauma, they are laced with wry humor and an unbreakable brotherly bond that is put to the test when 17-year-old Jarrett is sentenced to life in prison for murdering their abuser.
