Trailer Watch: Isabella Carbonell’s “Dogborn” Follows Refugee Siblings Struggling to Survive
"Dogborn"A trailer has arrived for Isabella Carbonell’s debut feature. Set to make its world premiere at Venice Critics’ Week, “Dogborn” tells the story of a refugee brother and sister living in Sweden. Homeless and desperate to build a better future, the twins get involved in the underworld of human trafficking.
“This isn’t just a job for anyone,” Sister (rapper Silvana Imam) and Brother (Philip Oros, “Deg”) are warned. “We’ll do whatever it takes,” the former insists.
“I wish for this film to have a genuine impact on anyone who sees it, regardless of background or prior insight into the world where ‘Dogborn’ takes place,” Carbonell said in a statement. “Whoever you are I want you to take this story with you. And preferably, when the end credits appear, you will feel slightly out of breath.”
Venice Critics’ Week will run August 31-September 10.
