Muslimi

Purple Don't Cry

Broke and misguided, 24-year-old BILAL is tired of working hard jobs for little pay. Like many
young men, he dreams of a life of luxury and feels that the only way he can attain it is by selling drugs. Frustrated with his rebellious nature, Bilal’s mother sends him packing back to Toronto to live with his estranged uncle MUSTAFA, who tries to put him on the straight and narrow. Sadly, the allure of fast money never escapes him and Bilal gets caught up with PURPLE, a Muslim gang leader who tries to sway him from the street life. Bilal instead chooses to go into the drug business on his own under the mentorship of Purple’s nemesis DUTCH. A dose of reality hits when Bilal is faced with the threat of death and he is forced to choose between continuing his life of crime or turning things around, before it’s too late.
