The short is currently titled Black Money. Abdi mourns the death of his younger brother & copes with the loss by drinking, causing him to recede from his family & friends. His father copes by berating him, stating that he is disappointed compared to his younger brother. Abdi feels pressured to live up to the image of his younger brother & desires to break away from the strict expectation he perceives placed upon himself, making him feel rejected & alienated. This story is important as it highlights the race struggles many people face such as hate crimes, and discrimination, as well as what the external pressures from family members can do to your mental health.
