Watchlist:
“Majo” Tonorio, a.k.a. Filly Brown, is a raw, young Los Angeles hip-hop artist who spits from the heart. When a sleazy record producer offers her a crack at rap stardom, Majo faces some daunting choices. With an incarcerated mother, a record contract could be the ticket out for her struggling family. But taking the deal means selling out her talent and the true friends who helped her to the cusp of success.
Why you might like this:
Filly Brown is a gritty, authentic drama that blends raw hip-hop music with a compelling story about a young artist trying to balance her talent and integrity. Director Youssef Delara's stylistic approach and the standout performance by Resmine Atis as the lead character make this an engrossing exploration of the challenges faced by underprivileged artists seeking their big break.
