Two Muslim Belgian brothers struggle with radicalization in Rebel, a family drama by the directorial duo Adil and Bilall that audaciously examines the corrupting allure of violence.

When the mother discovers she is carrying a fourth child the family cannot afford, the beleaguered parents determine to seek an abortion despite their community’s conservative stance,.The film had its world premiere at the 2023 Berlinale—the first Yemeni film in that festival’s history—winning the second place Audience Award and the Amnesty International Award.
