Save My Lost Nigga Soul is a 1993 Canadian short film, directed by Clement Virgo.[1] An adaptation of the story of Cain and Abel, it was made while Virgo was a student at the Canadian Film Centre.[2]

The film is about two Black Canadian brothers who live together but do not see eye to eye because one is a drug addict.[3] Meanwhile their roommate, an aspiring stand-up comedian, is planning to use material about their disputes in his forthcoming performance debut.[1]

Virgo's later feature film Love Come Down was an expansion on the themes of Save My Lost Nigga Soul.[4]

Achievements and awards[edit]

The film won the Toronto International Film Festival Award for Best Canadian Short Film at the 1993 Toronto International Film Festival,[5] and was nominated for the Genie Award for Best Theatrical Short Film at the 15th Genie Awards.[6]
