Brother to Brother

Perry Williams (Anthony Mackie) uneasily straddles several worlds. A Black art student ambivalent about success in a white-dominated sphere, Perry faces rejection by homophobic classmates and fetishization from his white lover. But when he meets Bruce Nugent, an older, Black gay artist and poet and a leading figure of the Harlem Renaissance, Perry comes face to face with a living legacy of which he is a part, emboldening him to face the future with confidence and pride. Rodney Evans’ moving feature won the Special Jury Prize at Sundance and was called “breathtaking” by The Hollywood Reporter.
