The Toronto International Film Festival’s Discovery section showcases films from up-and-coming directors who promise to be the future of world cinema. One of the films in this section is the documentary “Jeffrey,” which follows a 12-year-old street washer working in Santo Domingo in order to help his mom make ends meets. But Jeffrey has bigger plans of becoming a reggaetón singer, and with the help of his older brother Jeyson, he composes and records songs about his neighborhood and his way of life. The real-life story captures the layered beauty of the Dominican Republic and the stylized story of a child trying to achieve a dream. Watch an exclusive trailer for the film below.
