Blues For Life is a 2016 drama movie directed by Maurice Jamal. The movie follows the story of two brothers Darnell (Mando Allen) and Big Boy (Raheem Allen) who share a bond over their love for Blues music. They also share a sense of pride for their African American heritage, which they have been incorporating into their music. Darnell and Big Boy are members of a band called Blues For Life, which also includes their childhood friend, Juke Joint (Camille Blouin). The band has been together for many years and has developed a strong following in their hometown of Houston, Texas.

However, their success is threatened when their record label fails to promote their album and their manager dies suddenly. With their future in the music industry in peril, the brothers start to lose faith in the power of the Blues.

As they struggle to keep their band together and keep their love for music alive, they encounter a young woman named Selma (Laytonya Potts). Selma is a talented singer who wants to join their band, but the brothers are hesitant to let her in.

Selma's presence in the band causes a rift between Darnell and Big Boy, as Darnell begins to develop romantic feelings for her. Meanwhile, Big Boy struggles with a secret addiction that threatens to tear the band apart.

Through their struggles, the band learns the true meaning of the Blues - that it's more than just a genre of music, it's a way of life. They realize that their music has the power to bring people together and heal even the deepest wounds.

Blues For Life is a poignant and powerful movie that explores the themes of love, loss, addiction, and redemption. The performances of Mando Allen and Raheem Allen as the brothers are compelling and authentic, and they deliver powerful performances that bring the story to life.

Camille Blouin also shines as the strong and feisty Juke Joint, who brings a sense of humor and lightness to the film. Her character is a refreshing antidote to the weighty themes of the movie and provides a much-needed source of levity.

Overall, Blues For Life is a must-see movie for fans of Blues music and anyone who appreciates a good drama. The film's message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity is universal and will resonate with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
