Synopsis

Based on the true story of Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd, two friends from Dundee, Scotland who are passionate about hip-hop but struggle to be taken seriously by the British music industry due to their accents and cultural background. To break through, they boldly decide to pose as an American rap duo from California, calling themselves Silibil N’ Brains. Their fake accents and backstory win them attention, a record deal and even moments alongside major artists, but as their fame grows the elaborate hoax begins to unravel, testing their friendship. This comedy drama is a bittersweet look into the prejudices held by the record industry and society as a whole whilst also examining the importance of authenticity and staying true to yourself.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
