MEET OSAMA BIN LADEN’S FILM MAKING BROTHER

I was reading a back issue of the Premier Magazine, 2004 Issue to be specific. I came across an article about Osama’s sibling Yeslam Binladin. (Note the spelling of the name.)

It is a story about two people of the same family who’s paths have diverted perpendicularly.

He began his interest in movies as a teenager in Lebanon back in the 60’s, but that’s the story of one who has become a film financier. He sits on the board of Almaz Film Productions in Switzerland, created before the now infamous 9/11. His is a name that doesn’t appear on the credits of the films they produce. Almaz co-produced The Five Obstructions with Lars von Trier.


He hasn’t set his eyes on his famous half brother since the early 80’s and he says evry one is responsible for what he does. “…………. I will be judged on my own activities.” Rings true doesn’t it?( In that issue of Premier he was interviewed by Jason Matloff)
