Brilliant Mind
When Dina and Yusef learn of their estranged father’s death, they step in and bury a man they never knew. Will brother and sister face their truths once family secrets come to light? Brilliant Mind takes a hard look at generational trauma, the struggle between self and family, and the weight to carry a legacy. In this extraordinary live and interactive digital experience, this is a story of hope, about what gets lost in translation, and what happens when we dare to love unconditionally.
