LITTLE BROTHER is a series of 15-minute documentary films dedicated to giving Black boys a unique voice. Beginning in 2010, filmmakers Nicole Franklin and Jasmin Tiggett started taking an annual look at Black boys as young as nine years old for a one-on-one conversation demystifying what society tends to rob them of: LOVE.

LITTLE BROTHER: THINGS FALL APART is the first installment in the series. Set in Camden, New Jersey, well known as one of the nation’s most dangerous cities, the film takes a look at boys, aged nine to thirteen years old, growing up amongst extreme violence, poverty and crime, and explores their feelings on love and relationships set against impossible odds.

DVD extras include an extended interview with Dr. Raymond Winbush, author of The Warrior Method: A Parents’ Guide to Rearing Healthy Black Boys.

Supported in part by a grant from the Open Society Foundations/Campaign for Black Male Achievement. The film production team is available for in-person appearances accompanying screenings.
