Brothers Forever

Two Brothers

Born in the wild jungles of Cambodia, Kumal is wild and daring, while Sangha is shy and timid. But the fun is short lived, when McRory, an explorer, big-game hunter and temple looter, kills their father, while looting an ancient temple. One of the cubs, Kumal, is immediately recovered by McRory and sold to a circus. Sangha, remains in the jungle with his mother, but both are eventually trapped (by McRory) and released as game for the prince to hunt. The mother is then shot, thought to be dead for a moment before running away, and Sangha is taken into captivity, ends up as a pet to young Raoul, son of the French administrator.
Kumal, being trained by the cruel circus ringmaster Zerbino to do tricks, grows up broken-spirit into a timid cage creature, while Sangha, too wild to remain in the French household, is made a part of the prince's palace menagerie. Then the prince decides to hold a big festival, in which a battle between two great beasts is to be the centerpiece. But once the siblings are united in the arena, will the world allow a happy ending for these brothers?

Shot as a documentry, this film has large passages driven by the brilliant jungle photography and ethnically charged music by Stephen Warbeck. Two brothers has many social comments hidden beneath the fun story of the two brothers.
