An extraordinary story of friendship over the course of twelve years, in which Spanish filmmaker Paula Palacios has followed Ali, a young man who fled the war in Somalia at the age of fourteen. Their encounter in a Ukrainian prison in 2012 triggers a turning point in Ali’s life. Filmed in Ukraine, USA, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Spain, often by Ali himself, My Brother Ali is a story about personal growth in a hostile world, as Ali, trying to fulfil ‘the American dream’, questions his fate and sets out in search of a new tribe.
