Wiki.
Save My Lost Nigga Soul is a 1993 Canadian short film, directed by Clement Virgo. An adaptation of the story of Cain and Abel, it was made while Virgo was a student at the Canadian Film Centre.
The film is about two Black Canadian brothers who live together but do not see eye to eye because one is a drug addict. Meanwhile their roommate, an aspiring stand-up comedian, is planning to use material about their disputes in his forthcoming performance debut.
Virgo's later feature film Love Come Down was an expansion on the themes of Save My Lost Nigga Soul.
