Brother to Brother

Directed by Rodney Evans

A drama exploring the Harlem Renaissance through the eyes of an elderly writer who befriends a gay teen in a homeless shelter.
Brother to Brother is a thoughtful and moving gay drama that connects a young Black artist with the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance. Anthony Mackie is excellent in an early lead role, and although the film can become didactic, its historical ambition and emotional sincerity make it an important work.
